What is Salat in Secret about?
When Muhammad turns seven, his father gives him a beautiful salat rug and teaches him about the five daily prayers. Muhammad is eager to begin, but he worries about praying where others can see him. After watching people mock his father for praying in public, he decides to keep his own worship hidden. When one prayer falls during the school day, Muhammad must find the courage to ask for a quiet place to pray and discover that his faith is something to be proud of.
