Countdown To Zulhijjah : Teach Our Children About Hajj

Assalamualaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. 

We are almost stepping into the month of Zulhijjah 1434 H, the month of "Sacrifice" and the month where Muslims perform Hajj, the month of the largest gathering of Muslims in the world.

Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. It is obligatory to every Muslim that have the financial and physical ability to perform Hajj at least once in a lifetime. Hajj means travelling for the purpose of visiting the Ka’bah, the sacred House of Allaah, to perform the rites (manaasik), i.e., the actions and words reported in accounts of the Prophet’s Hajj, such as Tawaaf or walking around the Ka’bah seven times, al-Saa’ee or running between the hills of Safaa’ and Marwa seven times, standing at ‘Arafaah, stoning the Jamaraat (stone pillars representing the Shaytaan) at Mina, etc. 

To all parents or teacher, grab this oppurtunity to teach your children about Hajj. Here is the list of websites/blogs that you can explore activities/games about Hajj :-
