Look inside
The first pages — with Omar as the hero
دُم… دُم… من بعيد في الشارع الهادئ، كان المسحّراتي يقرع طبله. مسح بابا على شعر عمر وهمس: «استيقظ يا بطل، حان وقت صيامك الأول».
Boom… boom… far down the quiet street, the suhoor drummer was calling. Baba stroked Omar’s hair. “Wake up, champion. It’s time for your very first fast.”
2في المطبخ النعسان، أكل عمر خبزًا دافئًا ولبنًا باردًا وثلاث تمرات حلوة. قالت ماما: «صيامك الأول سيكون نصفين: حتى أذان الظهر، ثم من جديد حتى المغرب».
In the sleepy kitchen, Omar ate warm bread, cool laban and three sweet dates. “Your first fast comes in two halves,” said Mama. “Until the noon adhan, then again until Maghrib.”
