Description for Sales People

An excellent introduction to some prayers of the Prophet Muhammad. Thematically arranged, making it an ideal learning/teaching resource at home or in a school. Can also be used as a general introduction to the practice of prayer or du'a by Muslims. The book is colorfully designed and includes watercolor illustrations throughout to encourage reflection and to encourage the reader to feel a sense of tranquility as they read it. A fantastic library resource. Includes the prayer in English, the original Arabic and the transliteration so English readers unable to read Arabic can still learn the prayer in its Arabic oral form. At the start of the book is a transliteration table to help readers learn the correct pronunciation of the Arabic words.
