Review:
For obvious reasons I am posting this review now. If you are looking for a book that introduces our Muslim kids to the 3 Holy Masajid and why they have a special status in Islam, this is it. It mentions our original qiblah, Israh wal Miraj, the grave of the Prophet, peace be upon him, at Masjid al Nabawi. Furthermore, the very first place of worship on earth build by Ibrahim a.s. and his son Islami a.s., the black stone and Zam Zam water. I do find that the dialogue between Ayah and Baha to be a little too polished, however it is through their conversations that all the facts are discussed. Although we find many books related to the Kabah and its origins (through the stories of Hajj and Ibrahim a.s.), this book is completely unique in its approach. The illustrations alone are absolutely stunning and spread across two pages. This book is extremely important for Muslim households as well as Muslim institutions to have readily accessible for little Muslims.
