    Aqeelah & Ameer’s Restaurant

    Aqeelah and her brother Ameer have a big imagination. During their "Restaurant, Restaurant," pretend play, the kids learn about a beautiful ayah from the Quran. Mama shares the ayah where Allah mentions a snippet of Jannah, "We shall provide them in abundance with all kinds of fruit and meat, whatever they may desire," [52:22]. This experience allows Aqeelah to wonder more about Jannah.
