About this title

Synopsis

A colorful, fun-to-read introduction that explains the ways and whys of
Muslim worship, faith, and religious life.

What You Will See Inside a Mosque will:

• Satisfy kids’ curiosity about what goes on in mosques attended by their friends, broadening awareness of other faiths at an important age when opinions and prejudices can first form.
• Provide Muslim children with a deeper understanding of the practices of their own religious tradition.
• Give children the opportunity to ask questions, making them more active participants.

Colorful full-page photographs set the scene for concise but informative descriptions of what is happening, the objects used, the clergy and laypeople who have specific roles, the spiritual intent of the believers, and more.
