The Salma K. Farid Academy, a Muslim school in Conneticut, staged a hajj reenactment with its students last year and plan to make it an annual event. The schools head administrator, Ponn M Sabra noted that acting out the hajj gave children a better understanding of the rites than did just reading or memorizing the details of it.
Seeing their children reenact the hajj made the event was especially meaningful for the parents who had already made hajj themselves. Children whose parents were away making hajj gained a better understanding of what their parents how their parents fulfilled this pillar of Islam.
