Synopsis
Find the bravery to celebrate your beliefs and cultural traditions without fear of judgement. When Muhammad turns seven, his father gifts him his very first salat rug to pray with. Muhammad is excited to begin his salat journey, but is more comfortable silently praying in secret, afraid of the judgement he sees his dad receive when he prays in public. Can Muhammad learn to be brave and embrace his salat practice instead of hiding it from the world?
"A beautiful, positive, and welcome portrayal of Black Muslim families... An empowering and important tale of bravery." Kirkus.
