What the tale is about

Halil İbrahim happily sets out on a surprise journey prepared by his parents after beginning to pray. In Makkah, he sees Al-Masjid al-Haram, circles the Kaaba, and eagerly prays. In Madinah, he visits the Prophet's Mosque and performs two rak'ahs in the Rawdah. Their final stop is Al-Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, where he prays beneath an olive tree and understands what the Three Mosques Prayer means. During the two-week journey, he collects date pits, shares a meal with a welcoming family, and returns home with a heart full of Makkah, Madinah, and Jerusalem. The journey nurtures his love of prayer and reminds him to include others kindly.
