Before the end of the unit

And before the end of the rak'ah..! The mosques in Ramadan are decorated with ornaments and lanterns, and our children prepare for prayer and recitation of the Quran there, and that was Hani's golden opportunity to discover his vocal abilities or perhaps his creativity, after Mama left him with his older brother Ahmed in the mosque. Children naturally have a passion and enthusiasm for every new experience, and this was how Hani was during his time in the mosque to apply what he learned from the Quran lesson, so he would repeat the call to prayer before the imam, even to the point of being ready to remind him if he forgot a verse during prayer, then he would perform ablution in his own way, and you will only know this way if you read the story. Mama forgot that Hani needed to learn some mosque etiquettes, which caused his brother Ahmed to get into more than one trouble. This is how the events of the story "And before the end of the rak'ah" unfold! It is a story about the responsibility of the older brother, blending feelings of steadiness, anxiety, patience, anger control, and love between siblings, which never ends. The young reader will learn through the eight chapters of the story: - Parts of the mosque: the minbar and the prayer hall. - The pillars of ablution and prayer. - Mercy towards children in the mosque. - Negotiation skills and problem-solving. - The response to prayer and changing destinies. - A practical idea for children to spend a quiet time in the mosque. Ramadan is the season of answered prayers. With prayer and certainty of the response, Ahmed's anger turns into acceptance and peace, despite what Hani did by flipping the shoes and tying their colorful laces, and collecting the worshippers' keys in the bag! At the end of the prayer, all fingers point to Ahmed, but he chose to stay calm when he heard the imam recite the verse: {A yellow cow, bright in color}, so he would not do like the Children of Israel who argued with Prophet Moses about the cow, but he would face the situation and provide evidence until Mama is convinced that Hani is not ready to go to the mosque. With a simple idea, Hani's time in the mosque will become beneficial for him, Mama, and all the worshippers. This is a story our children who have advanced in reading will read, living with it a tolerant religious atmosphere through the imam's acceptance of children's movements, Mama's understanding of Hani's ability, and Ahmed's patience with his younger brother, along with illustrated scenes that naturally and humorously convey the events.
