In The Footsteps Of Ibrahim (as)



Quran Verse: Alhamdulilah 

Lesson Introduction: Prophet Ibrahim (as) always remembered the blessings Allah had given Him and was always busy saying thank you to Allah.
There is a special place near the Ka’ba called ‘Maqam Ibrahim’. Inside it are the footsteps of Prophet Ibrahim, from when he was building the Ka’ba. 

It reminds us how with every footstep Prophet Ibrahim took, he said Alhamdulilah. He thanked Allah for everything and it made Allah love him so much!

ACTIVITY: In The Footsteps Of Ibrahim (as) 
Materials needed: 
Large roll of paper and paint. 

Paint the soles or have the child step into a tray of paint and walk along a large roll of paper. In each footprint starting on the 1st of Dhilhajj, write one thing to be grateful for each day. Celebrate all your blessings on Eid! 
For a less messy alternative, have the child think of one thing every day and write the list inside a pair of cut out footprints. 

Encourage and repeat the phrase Alhamdullilah throughout the day.
