Everyone is performing Tawaf around the Kabah, but that’s not why you’re here today. In this maze, you have to … Continue reading Find Your Way to the Holy Kabah

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.

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

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.

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

Qiblah and Cardinal Directions

Whenever we pray, wherever we pray, we always face the Holy Kabah. This has always fascinated me. Muslims, all over the world, all face the same place when we pray. I remember being obsessed with the compass that we used to figure out the Qiblah when I was young. It took me some time to … Continue reading Qiblah and Cardinal Directions
