  2. Thank you so much Samia for this lovely resource. I just finished doing a few of the activities with my almost-10yr old daughter. It was great re-learning with her the Islamic months, the Hajj steps and the real essence behind sacrificing an animal on Eid. Thank you again. I’ve shared your links with many of my friends, and they all were saying JazakAllah khair!
