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 :-

Ramadhan Comes Again!! Alhamdulillah

Assalamualaikum wbt and Salam Ramadhan 1434 H,

Masha Allah, it is that time of year again, RAMADHAN AL-MUBARAK!!

Hopefully, you and your families have a blessed Ramadhan fullest with love, learning and made it the BEST Ramadhan ever!

How about your kids? Did they fast too? If they do, seize this opportunity during fasting month by having a Ramadhan Planner for your kids. 

This is the perfect time to teach them! 

Your kids can track their progress with various good deeds and obligations that should be practiced in Ramadhan. This will give them a sense of achievement and will help to develop strong habit, not only during fasting month but will last beyond through the rest of the year. Besides, every deeds they did will be rewarded. Allah revealed to us in a hadith by Muslim and Bukhari :

"Every deeds of men will be rewarded as equals, until 700 hundred folds of it. Allah the Noble and Almighty decreed : But fasting, because fasting, is done for Me and I am the One Who will reward it."

What are you waiting for? Grab as many deeds as you can!!

May peace and blessings be upon you..
