Hajj Lessons - Level 1 Islamic Studies
Assalamu Aalikum Wr Wbr, Dear parents, Alhamdulillah! The following was discussed in our last class. Rituals of Hajj-Things we do in Hajj We go around the ka’bah 7 times, this is called Tawaf Then we walk between the two hills, As-Safa and Al-Marwah, 7 times this is called Sa’i After that we go to Mina. In Mina people stay in tents . On the day of Hajj everyone goes to ‘Arafat from Mina-We pray to Allah and ask him to forgive us and guide us. After the sunsets pilgrims leave ‘Arafat for Muzdalifah . They stay the night in Muzdalifah praying and asking dua. In the morning they return to Mina. First they throw pebbles at the Shaitan and then sacrifice an animal like a goat, cow or sheep. After this the men shave their hair or cut it, women only trim their hair . Then we change to normal clothes from Ihram. On the last day of Hajj , people go back to the Ka’bah , pray there and do the farewell Tawaf before leaving for home. *PLEASE REVISE WITH YOUR CHILD FOR
