This book took me to the time when I was a kid. Even the illustrations gave me a nostalgic feeling. How we, the children, running around in the playground, got distracted when we were praying or reading Qur'an, being fascinated at how adult thumb their tasbih. Really, it made me feel warm! Oh, and how I love the way the writer end this book. She accentuate that mosque is a place where you can find joy and peace and everyone is welcome in it. And by this line, she wanted to tell us to live harmoniously with our brothers and sisters from other religions too.
“In my mosque, we pray for peace, love, and joy. . . Just like my friends who worship in churches, temples, and synagogues.”

Love the depiction of all how diverse the people who practice Islam and attend service look like. I love the messages of love and peace and community. Mosque is more than just a place of worship: it is a place of community and family and friends.

A delightful, beautifully illustrated, loving, cheerful book about the rituals of faith that take place in mosques, narrated by children for children (and adults). As the insert states: mosques are centers for friendship, community, and love. And boy, is there a lot of love shared in this book! Between families, friends, children and adults - the book reflects the joy, peace, and community bonds that thrive in mosques - just as they do in churches, temples, and synagogues.
The book includes a glossary of key Muslim terms, and a list of the most famous mosques around the world that the author has visited. One common thread runs through all of them: mosques are places of serenity and hospitality.
