Hajj Homework Help? 10 Points to the one with most INFO FOR ME!!!?
Hi people, and my RE teacher has given me a homework task to do.
What i have to do is pretend i have taken part in the Hajj, and write a letter to my friend, muhammad. Telling him about EVERYTHING i done. we recieved a sheet from the RE Teacher telling us of 16 steps, and we put them all together and made that into a letter.
It just happens that i have lost the sheet. And with the Homework in for tommorow, i really don’t have a clue, and when i google for some, none have the information i need.
So what i am asking, is that can someone help me on this letter?
I really am begging for your help and I need ALOT of help for this letter. I know your thinking i should do this myself, but i can’t really do it without any information and no helpful information on any website.
So i am hoping someone who knows alot about the Hajj and what they do from START TO FINISH in the Hajj.
All i can remember is they start packing and deciding what stuff to bring and leave, then they depart for the airport and end up getting plane there etc etc.
Thanks a million to anyone who has the time to help me on this one! Thanks!
hey, i have alot of knowlegde about this(i haven’t actally been their buh i’m hoping 2 next year)
ideas:
there are millions of people there
you can buy things from stalls etc.
You have to wear white clothes
You visit all the historic and famous sites etc. kabbah etc.
You have to go around the kabbah for a couple of times
The men have to shave their heads
After you have visited it and come back home you can’t really explain how it was as you become speachless you also become holy.
The Pilgrimage starts from the 7th to 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar.
In our language it is also known as Umrah
You drink Zam Zam and dates which are known as khajur their and you can also take it home.
The kabah is a cube shaped.
On the first day of the Hajj (the 7th day of the 12th month in other words, Dhu al-Hijjah), the pilgrims perform their first Tawaf, which involves all of the pilgrims entering Masjid Al Haram and walking seven times counter-clockwise around the Ka’ba, kissing the Black Stone (Hajr Al Aswad) on each circuit.
If you canot kiss hajr al aswad(the black stone) because of the crowd they may simply point towards the Stone on each circuit with their right hand. In each complete circuit a pilgrim says "In the name of God, God is Great, God is Great, God is Great and praise be to God" (Bism Allah Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa lil Lahi Alhamd) with 7 circuits constituting a complete tawaf. The place where pilgrims walk is known as "Mutaaf". Only the first three Shouts are compulsory, but almost all perform it seven times.
The tawaf is normally performed all at once. Eating is not permitted but the drinking of water is allowed because of the risk of dehydration. Men are encouraged to perform the first three circuits at a hurried pace, followed by four times, more closely, at a leisurely pace.[8]
After the completion of Tawaf, all the pilgrims have to offer two Rakaat prayers at the Place of Abraham (Muqaam Ibrahim), a site inside the mosque that is near the Kaaba. However, again because of large crowds during the days of Hajj, they may instead pray anywhere in the mosque.
