The month of Muharram marks the beginning of a new year within the Islamic calendar.  Often at the beginning of a new year people tend to make goals for the upcoming months – with the most popular goal being DIETING.

Teach your kids about the immense blessings and rewards received from completing Hajj.  Use simple activities to build a desire within your children to visit the blessed house of Allah (swt) from a young age.  Explain that the first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah are special like the last 10 days of Ramadan.  In fact, Allah (swt) says that no days are more beloved to Him than the first 10 days Hajj.
