The activities of the 47th Islamic Book Fair continue since its opening on the morning of Monday, April 21st, amidst a vibrant atmosphere, renewed cultural activity, and a deep-rooted Islamic thought that seeks to enhance values and knowledge in society.

A Tour for the Educational Experiences Club

The sixth day of the exhibition witnessed a series of diverse activities during the morning period. The Companionship Sector at the Educational Experiences Club organized an educational tour aimed at instilling the concepts of brotherhood and Islamic values in the participants through practical, interactive, and engaging activities.

Planting the Palestinian Identity in the Hearts of the Young

At the Athar Social Center, the morning activities continued with remarkable momentum. The Mastaba Club held a workshop entitled "Making a Watermelon Badge," an art workshop aimed at introducing children and youth to the symbolism of the Palestinian flag by designing models inspired by the shape of the watermelon, which has become a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance.

In an enchanting storytelling atmosphere, the storyteller Jihan presented a story for children entitled "The Tale of History's Foot in the City of Watermelon," which dealt with the suffering of the Palestinian people under the yoke of occupation in a simplified manner and language close to the child's conscience. This gave the event a deep emotional and humanitarian character and planted in the hearts of children an early awareness of the justice of the Palestinian cause.

A Window on the Most Beautiful Names of Allah

From another corner of the exhibition, the activities lens spotted a book signing in the Doha Bookstore pavilion. The Media Committee met with the preacher Dr. Maryam Al-Awaish during the signing of her book entitled "Get to Know Him," amidst the presence of visitors and interested individuals.

Al-Awaish said: "All praise be to Allah who has bestowed upon us and facilitated the publication of these books, which we hope will be a source of knowledge and a breath of faith for every reader."

She added, explaining the idea of the book: "'Get to Know Him' takes the reader on a journey of knowledge through the most beautiful names of Allah. We present each name in a simplified manner, accompanied by a real-life story that reflects the name and its meaning. A QR code is also added with each name to facilitate access to a recorded explanatory episode, making the experience more interactive."

She emphasized that the ultimate goal of this work is to bring the reader closer to Allah Almighty and deepen their knowledge of His attributes and most beautiful names in a way that touches both the heart and the mind.

She concluded her speech by praising the Islamic Book Fair, saying: "The exhibition is a leading platform for books that nourish the heart and mind and provide beneficial knowledge that benefits a person in their religion and their worldly life, bringing them closer to their Lord."
