318+ Hajj and Eid Al Adha Crafts {Resource}

August 6, 2019August 7, 2019 | acraftyarab

Here on A Crafty Arab, we have several craft tutorial resources on the Kaaba, Hajj and Eid Al Adha. We also have a lot of tutorials on sheep, an animal commonly sacrificed during this important holiday and shared with family, friends, and the less fortune.

Dhul Hijja is the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the most sacred months, followed by Ramadan, and in Arabic means “the month of the pilgrimage.”

One of the 5 pillars of Islam is to perform the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to visit the Kaaba. The Kaaba is the most holy of all mosques and Muslims perform rituals at the Kaaba, also known as Bayt Allāh (Arabic: بَيْت الله) which means‎ House of God.

The holiday Eid Al Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى‎) occurs on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, lasts for three days, and is know as the Festival of the Sacrifice. It honors the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Peace Be Upon Him) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience command.

Please share these resources with your children, students, and other educators looking to learn about the Muslim culture.

2019 Ramadan Crafts 30 Day Challenge {Resource}

May 5, 2019June 17, 2019 | acraftyarab

My daughters and I have really enjoyed sharing our Ramadan crafts 30 day challenge with you for the past eight years.

We are thrilled to once again start up our 30 day challenge, our 9th annual, for the 2019 Gregorian and 1440 Hijri year.

You will see some old favorites, a perler start to easy into out first day, an advent calendar to count down, a few games to help us through some tough tests, and of course projects on mosques, stars, moons, and Eid (including some fun favors!).

We’ll have some printables to make sure we keep learning, a few recipes to share during iftars with friends, a brand new Ramadan book review and some special guest posts for days that we need a break from social media to enjoy this holy month.

Please stop by our past years of 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018; to see fun, often recycelable crafts plus activities and as always, visiting the A Crafty Arab Pinterest page is usually the best place to visually see *almost* everything.

Be sure to follow A Crafty Arab on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep up with our daily posts. Share them with your parent, educator or curious friends too!

If you are looking for books or gifts for Eid to finally have this year the one that you’ll get ahead of wrapping presents, please think about buying books from our A Crafty Arab resource links and website to help support the supplies needed for the blog (keeping in mind that I am donating portions of each sale of my brand new Arabic Alphabet Coloring Book to refugees families in need).
