🕋 Hajj Workshop With the days of Hajj fast approaching, our Primary students at Western Grammar School took part in a special Hajj Practical Workshop last Friday to deepen their understanding of this sacred pillar of Islam. Alhamdulillah, the experience was both meaningful and memorable. Each class walked through a hands-on simulation of the Hajj journey. The setup included beautifully designed replica stations such as; 'Arafah, Kaʿbah, Safa and Marwah, Jamrah, and even Zamzam dispensers (generously donated by Hulm.com.au) Students enthusiastically participated in each part of the Hajj rites — making their intention, the state of Ihram, staying at Mina, standing at 'Arafah, collecting pebbles at Muzdalifah, stoning the Jamarat, Udhiyah (sacrifice), symbolically cutting the hair, re-enacting the Tawaf and Saʿi between Safa and Marwah, and the completion of Hajj by performing the Farewell Tawaf. A sincere Jazakum Allahu Khayran to all our amazing teachers for your dedication and support. Your efforts brought this event to life and gave our students an opportunity to connect with their faith in a powerful way. May this experience inspire our students to grow in love and understanding of their religion. #WGS #HajjWorkshop #Hajj2025 #WesternGrammarSchool #HandsOnLearning #Hulm #DhulHijjah #Alhamdulillah (fb)

Parents reflected on: ✨ The sacrifices of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), Hajer (AS) and Ismail (AS) ✨ The meaning of true sacrifice in parenting — of time, emotions and finances ✨ Raising children as a legacy, with love, sincerity and tawakkul ✨ Building strong bonds of respect and trust within the home ✨ The rights of children in Islam and the role of parents in guiding with purpose Quran and Hadith reminders grounded the session in the beauty of our Deen, leaving us all spiritually uplifted and inspired to parent with renewed intention and love. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Abu Muneer Ismail Davids for delivering such a profound presentation and to all our wonderful parents who participated with open hearts and minds. May Allah SWT reward your efforts in raising righteous children and grant your families barakah, peace and closeness to Him. Ameen JazakumAllahu khairan The Wellbeing Team (fb)
