شرح للأطفال
Imagine you're in a big room where people light incense sticks while praying. The smoke from these sticks carries their thoughts up to heaven. An angel helps make sure those prayers get delivered straight to God, just like how your mom or dad might help carry your voice when talking to someone far away.
السياق التاريخي
