Once upon a time, there was a boy named Enes. He was born in a faraway land called Switzerland, but his family was from Turkey. When Enes was young, he loved one thing more than anything else — basketball! Every day after school, Enes would run outside with his ball and practice shooting, bouncing, and jumping.
Enes had a secret — when he threw the basketball in the air, he felt like he could fly. It was a special feeling from Allah, who made him strong and gave him hope.
At home, Enes’s parents taught him many important lessons. His mother prayed quietly every day, asking Allah to guide them. His father always said, “Trust in Allah, do good deeds, and always speak the truth.”
Before every game, Enes would close his eyes and make a small prayer:
“Ya Allah, help me play well and be kind to others.”
As Enes grew taller and stronger, he moved to a new country called the United States to follow his dream of playing basketball with the best players in the world.
But Enes knew that being brave wasn’t just about basketball. He learned that some people back home were being treated unfairly because they spoke the truth. Enes remembered what his father said and thought, “If I don’t speak up, who will?”
Even though some people told him to be quiet, and some tried to scare him, Enes stayed strong. He believed that freedom and kindness were gifts from Allah — gifts that everyone deserved.
To show how much he believed in standing up for what is right, Enes added a new name to his own — Freedom — so everyone would remember his promise to always speak for justice.
Enes still loved basketball, still smiled, and still prayed every day. But now, he also used his voice to help others who couldn’t speak for themselves.
Children everywhere saw Enes and learned an important lesson:
With faith, kindness, and courage, you can stand tall and make a difference — just like Enes.
And Enes’s calm eyes and brave heart always reminded them:
“If you stay true and kind, your voice will always matter.”
