What is Fun Words: Hajj about?
Fun Words: Hajj is an interactive Islamic word book for children aged 4 to 9 in which they discover the special places and items of Hajj and learn their names in English, in Arabic, or in both.
Hajj is the pilgrimage to Makkah that every Muslim who is able makes once in their life, and it has a language of its own. The cover gives a taste of it: the Kaaba at the centre, a string of prayer beads, a green book, and a well and a small domed building that look like the well of Zamzam and the Station of Ibrahim.
Children choose English, Arabic or both. For each word they listen to how it is pronounced, then use the microphone to record themselves saying it and compare. Many of these words are Arabic names that Muslims use in every language, so learning to say them properly is worth the practice.
The book gives children the words they need to follow what happens during Hajj, whether a relative is going, it is the season of Hajj, or they are simply curious. Knowing the names of the places makes stories, videos and conversations about Hajj easier to understand.
Parents can use it as a starting point: after playing, talk about what each place is and what pilgrims do there. Fun Words is a Miraj original.
