(PRLeap.com) "Qalam", a new book by Qasim Watkins, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A groundbreaking crossword puzzle book designed to entertain while offering an accessible introduction to Islamic teachings for non-Muslim readers.

"Qalam" is more than a standard activity book; it is a unique educational tool that blends recreation with cultural literacy. Inspired by his mother's lifelong love of crosswords and his own deep-rooted passion for education, Watkins has crafted a collection that is as mentally stimulating as it is informative. Each puzzle serves as a gateway to understanding Islamic values, history, and principles in an engaging, low-pressure format.

Watkins wanted to create something that honors his mother's favorite pastime while opening a door for people to learn about Islam in a fun, interactive way. The goal is to foster curiosity and bridge the gap between different communities through the simple joy of solving a puzzle.
