Since we normally travel during the hajj break, I have to do Hajj based activities and learning before we leave. So we started last week and break starts in two days. I thought I would share some things we have been doing before we head out inshaAllah.
Its really important for us to make children feel a change in the home environment as we approach these important occasion, marked in our religion/life, i.e, Ramadan, Hajj, both Eid, the fast of Ashura and so on. It should be a special festival like feeling in the home.
I thought it would be best to start of from the foundation, which are the pillars of Islam and some other activities.
2. Make a pillars of Islam model: We used cardboard rolls same as toilet paper rolls but a bit hard and sturdy, to make this. Our focus was Hajj, and inshaAllah I plan on covering others one topic at a time giving it its time to be absorbed into the kids.
3. Read a book about the pillars of Islam: We read over our "The Pillars of Islam" book. I recommend to every Muslim family. Its beautifully illustrated and written in very simple words. It comes with a partner book "The Pillars of Iman".
4. Learning Roots Pyramid Pillars: We made the Pyramid Pillars and talked about them a bit, again the main focus was Hajj.
5. Watch this video.
InshaAllah stay tuned for the last few.

What do you want to see happen to AIG and it's executives?
ReplyDeleteObviously the bailouts were bad ideas, but the AIG bonuses with taxpayer money were absolute .. well put in your own thought there. Now that this all has come to light what would you like to see happen to AIG?
