Boat Trip and the Raisah

Illustrator Fatma Zehra Köprülü

Today, Raisah, Mama and Papa are going sailing. ‘Behold!’ said Papa. ‘This is our boat.’

Raisah stepped in holding her doll and sat next to Mama. She looked over the side at the clear, sparkly water. And, with a tug, tug, tug on the engine they rumbled into the ocean.

Or else, like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, covered by waves above which are waves, with clouds above it all. (Quran 24: 40)

‘Look! The water is getting dark!’ Raisah pointed out.

‘It’s because the water is getting very deep and sunlight cannot reach that far down,’ said Mama.

Lawful to you is allwater-game ,

and whatever food the sea bringsforth .(Qur’ an 5
