Ghadeer Circuits

Today, we will be combining Islamic learning with... science! To create a powerful visual for Eid-e-Ghadeer, you can use a lightbulb, a battery, and two wires (or strips of foil.) Both ends of the battery have to be connected to the light bulb in order for it to shine bright. Similarly, we have to be … Continue reading Ghadeer Circuits

Imagine Yourself at Hajj – A Diary

During these days, many of our fellow Muslims are blessed to experience the journey of their lifetime, the Hajj. The rest of us are at home, wishing and praying that we get a chance to go as well, inshaAllah. We can’t be there ourselves this year. We can, however, follow the journey of the pilgrims … Continue reading Imagine Yourself at Hajj – A Diary

Prophet Ibrahim’s Footprints

When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his son Prophet Isma'il (AS) were building the Holy Kabah, he stood on a rock to aid him in the construction. It is known as Maqam-e-Ibrahim and it still holds his footprints to this day. To discuss Maqam-e-Ibrahim, we used Play Doh. We rolled it out, then I had my daughter … Continue reading Prophet Ibrahim’s Footprints

Holy Kabah Model

After being inspired by Oh Happy Day to create a crescent pinata for Eid-ul-Fitr, I loved the method so much that I decided to make something for Zil Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha too! I decided to make a mini-Holy Kabah for our decorations this year using the method for the piñatas. However, I couldn’t quite imagine … Continue reading Holy Kabah Model

The Story of Abraha and the Army of Elephants

She retold the story many times in the following days, as she was processing and learning. When I told her this story, we first went through the story, discussing what happened. After … Continue reading The Story of Abraha and the Army of Elephants

Qiblah String

To explore the concept of Qiblah, we discussed how we stand in a specific direction while we pray. We stand with our face toward the Holy Kabah, rather than with our back or side to the Holy Kabah. We talked about how if we stand facing the Kabah, we are standing in a way that … Continue reading Qiblah String

Two Weighty Things

On the 18th of Zil Hajj, Prophet Mohammed (SAW) appointed Imam Ali (AS) as his successor and our Imam. As Prophet Mohammed (SAW) knew that he would soon pass away, he made sure to tell us who we should follow, saying, “For whomsoever I am the Maula, Ali is his Maula.” On this day, Prophet … Continue reading Two Weighty Things
