Hajj Book

Here is our Hajj Book. It's not exactly a lapbook, but it has activities.

Here is the cover. It's the same with model of Kaba I made.

There are two ayat about hajj and sacrifice...

In it are Signs Manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; Pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah,- those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of His creatures. (Surah Al-Imran, 97)

Therefore to thy Lord turn in Prayer and Sacrifice.. (Surah Al-Kauthar, 2)

Sun and Wind (story about humility)

Once upon a time, a dispute arose between the Wind and the Sun as to which was the more powerful of the two. The Wind (always a blow-hard) challenged the Sun to a contest that could resolve once and for all who was the stronger. Looking down, the two could see a lone Traveler making his way across the land—it was agreed that whichever would be the first to strip the man of his cloak should be accounted the victor.

The Wind began, and blew with all its might with blasts as cold and fierce as a Thracian storm; but (of course) the stronger and more furiously the Wind blew, the closer the Traveler wrapped his cloak around him, and the more tightly he grasped it with his hands. Finally, exhausted, the Wind gave up in despair.

Then the Sun (which had been hiding behind a cloud) came out and simply shone with warmth and brightness—in almost no time at all the Traveler felt the genial warmth, took off his cloak, and cast it on the ground.

Thus the Sun was declared the victor, and it has ever since been deemed that “persuasion is better than force”—and the sunshine of a kind and gentle manner is more efficacious than the force of blustering authority.

It's a different table which helps your kid to do more good deeds. For each deed a fruit is chosen and when the kid do that good deed, a star is put on that fruit. Here are good deeds on this tree:

• folding pyjamas
• finishing what is on his dish
• helping mom & dad
• repeating his course
• starting with Basmalah for everything he does

Dot to Dot Activity: Masjid

My son loves very very much to solve dot to dot activities. So I had to make one Islamic dot to dot worksheet for him :) It's from 1 to 90. I hope you and your child enjoy it too.

The picture is from a printable of sister Umm An-Nu'man from this lapbook.

Book: The Five Pillars of İslam

English version of the book I made for my son. It's about "The Five Pillars of Islam". Here is the front page.

An introduction page with dua' from Surah Ibrahim and a house reminding the hadeeth:

“Islam has been built upon five things – on testifying that there is no god save Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger; on performing salah; on giving the zakah; on Hajj to the House; and on fasting during Ramadhan.”

One is Shahada. "What is its meaning?" and "What happens when we say shahada?"

Two is Salah. Five daily prayers with pictures... (Pictures from Talibiddeenjr but I changed a bit.)

Three is Sawm. A fast day with pictures...

Four is Zakat. Its percentage, it does not decrease but increases our money, and it cleans our possessions.

Five is Hajj. Hajj makes everyone equal, it's in Dhil Hijjah...

Let's Repeat the five pillars of Islam and Let's Answer the questions about them.

Last page. Here is the lyrics of the nasheed "Buniyal Islamu 'ala Khamsin"

I hope you enjoyed it.

As soon as possible I will put its printable version insha Allah.

Edit: Here is the link you can download the file. I hope it is beneficial.
