What the tale is about
Little Rasin the Ant lives busily in a nest beneath a mosque garden, but the adhan and the worshippers inside fill him with curiosity. With help from his closest friend, Karin, he digs a secret tunnel and learns about prayer, the Kaaba, the qiblah, tawaf, and Hajj from the mosque imam. During Ramadan, Rasin also watches people fast, read the Qur’an, speak kindly, and help others. His longing to visit Hajj grows, so he sets out despite his friends’ doubts. Hunger, thirst, exhaustion, a bird, and an unexpected journey inside a bag test his patience and trust in Allah.
