From Wednesday 4th June to Monday 9th June, Muslims around the world will be taking part in Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is a deeply significant spiritual journey. All adult Muslims who are physically and financially able are expected to undertake the pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime.
This is an excellent opportunity to introduce pupils to one of the most important events in the Islamic calendar.
If you have Muslim students in your class, this can also be a valuable moment to invite them to share their experiences or family traditions related to Hajj (if they feel comfortable doing so). They are perfect for use in form time, Religious Education (RE) lessons, or even during a whole-school assembly. As they come from BBC Teach, you can be confident that they meet the standards required for use in the classroom.
