The little Muslim Karim, who grows up in Germany, has many questions:
- Why is he not allowed to have a dog
- Why do Christians celebrate Christmas
- What do the eggs mean at Easter
- What is the medicine of the Prophet Muhammad (sws)
- What is the meaning of the word "Bismillah"
- Why shouldn't you lie.....
These and other topics are explained in a child-friendly way in this story.
The little Muslim Karim experiences his childhood in an Islamic
family, while his best friend Volker is a Christian. Therefore, it is understandable that the children have many questions and that they want to know the differences and similarities between the
both religions. However, this does not disrupt their friendship, and through acceptance and respect, the friends can get along well and learn from each other.
