About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they want to transition the daily prayer ritual from a chore into a joyful, bonding family experience. It addresses the emotional need for belonging and the desire to help a child feel 'grown up' as they mimic the movements of their elders. The story follows siblings Mustafa and Arwa as they navigate the steps of Salah, focusing on the warmth of their relationship and the wonder of spiritual connection. Ideal for children aged 3 to 8, this book uses the concept of an 'adventure' to keep young minds engaged with the physical postures and intentions of prayer. Parents will appreciate how it frames religious practice through the lens of love and accomplishment rather than strict obligation, making it a perfect choice for celebrating heritage and encouraging a child's first steps toward independent faith.
