What is Tawaf Jigsaw Puzzle about?
Tawaf Jigsaw Puzzle is an Islamic jigsaw game for children aged 4 to 9 named after Tawaf, when pilgrims walk around the Kaaba in Makkah in worship.
Children fit the pieces together to complete the picture. There are four levels of difficulty, so a child can start with an easy puzzle, move up to a harder one as they get better, and see how well they can do. The cover shows the Kaaba, in its black cover with a band of gold, and a friendly camel, on either side of the word Tawaf.
Tawaf is one of the most moving sights in the world: pilgrims walking together around the Kaaba, seven times, remembering Allah. It is an important part of Hajj and of Umrah, and Muslims can also make Tawaf whenever they visit the Sacred Mosque in Makkah. The Kaaba is the House of Allah, and it is also the Qibla, the direction every Muslim faces in prayer, wherever they are in the world.
As the picture comes together, parents can tell their child about Tawaf, count to seven with them, and talk about anyone in the family who has been to Makkah. Children who want to see Tawaf can watch the video Circling the Kaaba - Here I Am, Oh Allah, and put together the places of Hajj in The Hajj Map games.
