What is The Hajj Map Jigsaw Puzzle about?
The Hajj Map Jigsaw Puzzle is an Islamic jigsaw game for children aged 4 to 9 named after The Hajj Map, the Miraj picture of the special places of Hajj.
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, between two puzzle pieces.
Hajj is the pilgrimage to Makkah that every Muslim who is able makes once in their life. Over several days, pilgrims move between special places in and around the city, and the Kaaba, the House of Allah, is at the heart of it all. A jigsaw is a slow, careful way to look at a picture: as each piece goes in, children notice more of the details.
Parents can use the puzzle to talk about the places of Hajj and what pilgrims do there, about Eid al-Adha, which comes during the days of Hajj, and about anyone in the family who has made the journey. The harder levels give older children a real challenge.
Children who enjoy it can also play The Hajj Map: Drag & Drop, in which they put the places of Hajj onto the map one by one.
The Hajj Map Jigsaw Puzzle is a Miraj original.
