The lesson opens by establishing hajj as the fifth pillar of Islam, a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for every Muslim who is healthy, financially able, and for whom the journey is safe. Drawing on the Qur’anic command from Surah Aal ʿImran, learners are anchored in the divine obligation before being transported into one of the most moving stories in all of Islamic history.

Young learners follow the trials of the Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام through a desert valley with no water, no trees, and no people, where he left his beloved wife Hajar علیہا السلام and baby Ismaʿil عليه السلام in complete trust and submission to Allah. They witness Hajar علیہا السلام’s breathtaking determination as she ran between the hills of Safa and Marwah, and the miraculous appearance of Zamzam water. They then encounter the greatest test of all: the command to sacrifice his son Ismaʿil عليه السلام and how both father and son submitted with unwavering courage, driving Shaytan away with stones before Allah sent a ram from Paradise in place of Ismaʿil عليه السلام. Finally, learners discover how Ibrahim عليه السلام and Ismaʿil عليه السلام built the Kaʿbah together and how Ibrahim عليه السلام’s call to hajj continues to draw millions of hearts to Makkah to this very day.

This awe-inspiring lesson brings to life the Prophet’s ﷺ extraordinary journey from Makkah to the blessed al-Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, where he led all the Prophets in salah, then ascended through the seven heavens meeting Adam, Yahya, ʿIsa, Yusuf, Idris, Harun, Musa, and Ibrahim. Young learners will be amazed to learn that at the highest place beyond the seven heavens, the Prophet ﷺ spoke directly to Allah and received the precious gift of the five daily salah, all within one miraculous night.
