Long Answer

1. The carnival demonstrates that people of differing faiths can support one another and enjoy being together. The Islamic Center has a tradition of inviting congregations from other faiths to the carnival. When the Muslim community needs help after the vandalism of the Islamic Center, these other faith communities come together to help stage the Quran competition and the carnival. (Various chapters)

2. When Amina learns about the surah about backbiting, she immediately thinks that it must apply to her and that this means she is a terrible person. This is similar to the way that she worries that her prayers about avoiding the Quran competition might be the cause of the fire at the Islamic Center. She is a person who tries to take responsibility for her actions, sometimes to the point of overestimating her own guilt. (Chapters 18 and 21)
