Five prayers. One BUSY day
Mohid has a lot going on today. There's a cozy bed he does NOT want to leave, a soccer game in the park, a giant block tower that's almost finished, and a little brother, Essa, who copies everything he does. With so much fun to fit in, can Mohid make time for all five prayers?
From a sleepy Fajr (with a very cold splash of wudu water ) to Dhuhr in the middle of a soccer game, a tricky choice at Asr, Maghrib with the whole family and a happy Isha before bed, Mohid learns that salah isn't something that gets in the way of his day. It's the best part of it.
A warm, funny comic-style story with lots of giggles, a cheeky little brother and a family that prays together. Young readers will love the speech bubbles, big colorful pictures and the "Stop & Think " moment where THEY decide what Mohid should do.
