An AWAIR Pick,
By AWAIR Reviews (Berkeley, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Islamic Festivals Pb (Celebrate) (Paperback)
At last, a wonderful and authentic explanation of the Islamic holy days. Each two-page spread looks at a particular topic - 18 in all - with helpful photographs and sidebar explanations: Lunar Phases, Hadith, Prayer, The Prophet's Birthday, The Night of Power, The Night Journey, 'Id-al-Fitr, 'Id-al-Adha, Jum'ah - are just some of the topics explored. Eleven-year-old Hussain and eight-year-old Fatimah are our storytellers and guides. Very thorough and authoritatively told. Includes a glossary. We only wish they had translated the Arabic word 'Allah' into English - it means 'God'!Book excerpt: "When you get a new video or computer game, you read the instructions carefully to find out everything it can do, so that you can play it well. Muslims read the Koran to find out Allah's instructions about how to live a good life. Allah created us so He understands what we need to know and do to be happy and successful." - Hussain, age 10. 4th-7th - social studies/humanities |
