What the tale is about

While learning about the birth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Zehra finds herself in the streets of ancient Makkah. She hears of Abdullah’s death and Amine’s sorrow, witnesses people worshipping idols made of food, and follows a Jewish scholar who points to the bright Shira star and announces that the promised prophet is about to be born. Guided by a heavenly rose fragrance, Zehra reaches the house where Prophet Muhammad was born, then awakens beside Garip Dede. She understands the importance of noticing others’ needs and begins planning kindness for her hungry, poor classmate.
