While he is feeding the birds, pastor Sadeq hears the annoying sound of a raven's cawing, and the raven tells Sadeq he has fed all birds except for it. Sadeq tells the raven he will not feed it, but he soon feels guilty and apologizes to it.

The raven tells Sadeq the story of Cain (Qabeel) and Abel (Habeel) who both made sacrifices to God, but God only accepted Abel's. Cain went mad and murdered his brother, and God sent Cain a raven to teach him how to scratch up the ground and bury his brother's corpse.

Halfway through his journey in the desert, Sadeq sits down at a well to rest. When he looks back, he sees that the young she-camel has stumbled upon some thorns, so he hastily descends to rescue it and he recounts to it the story of Messenger Saleh whose tribe refused to believe his prophet-hood.

Messenger Saleh's people urged him to demonstrate a miracle. God sent his miracle in the shape of a blessed she-camel, and Saleh told his people to let it graze peacefully, but the people acted in defiance of God's instructions, and they received His severe punishment.

Sadeq feeds the doves and tells them how they have become a symbol of peace. He recounts to them the story of Noah's Ark, and how the doves planted an olive leaf once the Ark docked.

Sadeq recounts Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham) story with the birds. Ibrahim wanted God to show him a miracle so that his heart might be reassured, and he asked God the Almighty to show him how to revive the dead. God ordered Ibrahim to take four birds, draw them to him, cut their bodies to pieces and scatter them over the mountain-tops, then call them back.

When Sadeq counts his sheep, he finds the little lamb missing, and he believes that the wolf has eaten it. Just as he was heading to take revenge on the wolf, he finds the lamb and realizes that the wolf is guiltless.

Sadeq tells the sheep the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) whose brothers', blinded by their jealousy, threw him into a well, and they told their father Yacoub (Jacob) that the wolf devoured him. Yusuf was rescued by a passing caravan that took him to Egypt.

Sadeq observes his sheep fighting over food, and he tells them that food is abundant and drinking aplenty. He then recounts to them the story of Prophet Yunus (Jonah) and the whale.

Sadeq recounts the story of Yunus (Jonah) who was disobeyed by the people to whom he was sent to prophesy. Jonah runs to the ship and an unprecedented storm arises. The sailors decided to cast lots and some people. Jonah was cast and a whale swallows him, but Jonah repents and glorifies Allah in his affliction.

Pastor Sadeq sees his sheep fighting and quarreling, and he decides to tell them the story of Prophet Musa (Moses) and his stick.

Prophet Musa (Moses) was sent to prophesy to the Pharaoh of Egypt and the Israelites, but the Pharaoh refused to believe Moses. Moses demonstrates two miracles, but the Pharaoh insists they are sorcery work and it is decided that Moses will have a battle with the Pharaoh's magicians.

On the day of the anticipated battle, Moses asks the magicians to have the first go, and God assures Moses not to worry. The magicians' rods turn into snakes, but Moses' turns into a serpent that devours all snakes and leaves the sorcerers in amazement.

Pastor Sadeq thanks his calf for providing him with meat and milk and helping him with tons of tasks, then he recounts the story of Moses' golden calf.

One day, an old rich man from the Israelites was killed, and his nephews wanted to know who the murderer was. When they consulted Moses, he asked them to slaughter a cow, but the people thought Moses was mocking them. Moses told them these are God's instructions and this is how He revives the dead.

Sadeq hears the loud barking of a dog, and when he goes out to find why the dog is barking so loud, he sees a wolf feigning being dead to deceive the sheep and devour them. Sadeq starts recounting the story of The Sabbath Breakers.

It is the story of a group of Jews who ultimately dedicated their Saturdays to praying and glorifying God, but God tried them by sending their coastal city vast numbers of fish. The people left their worshipping and went fishing. To punish them, God turned them into despised and rejected apes.

Sadeq observes an ant relentlessly trying to reach the honey jar, and he realizes that it is willing to sacrifice her life to provide her group with food. Sadeq recounts the story of Prophet Soliman (Solomon) with the ant.

One day as he was marching with his armies towards the valley of ants, Prophet Soliman (Solomon) heard an ant saying to its fellows: [Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving.] Solomon laughs and changes the course of the army and thanks God for His blessings.

Sadeq gets ill amidst the desert when he runs out of water, then he sees a hoopoe tapping its beak against a rock to reveal a hidden well. Sadeq recalls the story of Soliman (Solomon) and the hoopoe.

As Prophet Soliman (Solomon) was reviewing his birds, he had noticed that the hoopoe was missing and he got infuriated. However, Solomon forgives the hoopoe when it returns with news about the Queen of Sheba and her people who worshipped the sun. Solomon sends them a message with the hoopoe.

An ant eats the chair on which Sadeq was sitting, so he falls to the ground, and he narrates the story of Prophet Soliman's (Solomon) death. Solomon dies, and the jinn do not know of his death until his staff is eaten by the ants.

Sadeq suffers back pain and decides to go to the city's market to buy a donkey. He sees two donkeys; one that is utterly strong and the other is meek. Sadeq remembers the story of Uzair (Lazarus) and his donkey.

God wanted to show Uzair (Lazarus) that His ability is limitless and His portents endless, so he took his life and then resurrected him.

Someone breaks into Sadeq's house to steal his sheep, but seeing the burglar, Sadeq's dog loudly barks and bites him. Sadeq tells the dog the story of the Seven Sleepers.

In the ancient days, there was a tyrant ruler who forced people to take other gods rather than God the Almighty, and he tortured anyone who believed in God. There was a group of young men who refused to succumb to the tyrant's threats and they took shelter in a cave with their dog. When the tyranny ended, the group along with the dog were revived.

The raven tells Sadeq the story of Messenger Isa (Jesus) who was once walking with his students and disciples, he held clay, shaped it in the form of a bird, then proceeded to bring it to life.

Sadeq's cat looks for water, and Raad, Sadeq's dog, runs after it. Sadeq brings his cat water, milk, and food, and he recounts the story of Abraha Al-Ashram and the elephant.

Abraha Al-Ashram intended to build a cathedral for people to perform their pilgrimage rituals, but he was shocked to learn that Muslims have a sanctuary where they perform the pilgrimage; the Kaaba, so he prepared an army headed by an elephant to destroy it, but God sent birds clasping deadly stones and throwing it on Abraha's army.

When Sadeq sees spider's web in his house, he starts recounting the story of Prophet Muhammad with the spider. Abu Bakr accompanied Prophet Muhammad on his migration to Medina; the two hid from the Quraysh men in a cave, and God sent a spider that weaved a heavy web around the cave to secure the Prophet.
