We immerse ourselves in ibadah <\/em>during the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah, it is equally important to help our children understand the importance of these days. \u00a0We explore different aspects of Ramadan with our kids<\/a>, we satisfy their thirst for knowledge and help them offer salah<\/em> and Quran. We answer their questions, and patiently respond to their cries for food as we teach them fasting. The list is endless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Children may or may not understand the importance of the rituals that take place during the most blessed journey of a Muslim\u2019s life. As the days of Hajj dawn upon us, we share 7 ways to help you and your child bond over the love of Allah and learn about an important pillar of Islam – Hajj.\u00a0<\/p>\n
