Tell Me About Hajj (Hardbound)

The pilgrimage to Makkah is traced back to Prophet Ibrahim, his wife Hagar and their infant son Ismail, and forward to the Hajj performed by Prophet Muhammad. Told for young readers in plain language, the account moves through Hagar's search for water and the spring of Zamzam, the sacrifice, the raising of the Kabah, and the summons that drew pilgrims to it, then explains why Hajj stands among the pillars of Islam. Illustrations and photographs sit alongside sidebar notes on the geography and daily life of the region, so the history and the rites are easier to picture. How readers use it: • Hardbound pages that hold up to repeated reading at home or in class • Colour illustrations and photographs drawn from the lands of the pilgrimage • Sidebar panels adding background on place, climate and custom • Part of a series covering major prophets and the pillars of Islam Written for school-age children and useful to parents and madrasah teachers preparing Hajj lessons, available in English from Boipoka.
