Children visit Madinah in Mini-Hajj
Sr Alif blogs
At Hamza Academy, Sr. Zahra continues the Hajj re-enactment with a trip to Madinah. She explained, “Our fourth grade student’s at Hamza Academy had the opportunity to replicate a model of Masjid An-Nabawi, which is the original Mosque built by Prophet Muhammad (SAW).They wanted the travelers of the mini hajj to feel welcomed to their Masjid. The goal of the project was to replicate a piece of Islamic history from the time of our Prophet Muhammad (sws). Students decorated the walls with scenes of the desert. Camels, palm trees, and a desert scene adorned the walls of our school.
The children that visited the replica of Masjid An-Nabawi, were greeted with the song, “Tala’al badru alaya” the song of Hijrah. Then they enjoyed a short presentation by the students building the Mosque. They used real bricks, pillars, and tree branches. The little ones enjoyed touching the felt camel on the wall. It was the highlight of their day.”
