Participation of kids in Hajj and performing Hajj pilgrimage is a rare though quite effective in upbringing children.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Most of the kids who participate Hajj pilgrimage are from Arab or Southeastern Asian countries, Rohama reported.
 
Although the pilgrimage is not mandatory for the immature Muslims, some parents would like to take the burden due to the positive effects of the experience on upbringing of the children.

"My mom has taught me that Hajj is a very important event and actually part of our daily life," said Jbair bin Sheikh Jamil from Bangladesh.

Little Bilal Ibrahim from Egypt, excited at his presence in Mecca expressed his gratitude at visiting some Muslim luminaries and said visiting the grave of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was his wish.

More interesting than all is the story of little Kamran Muzaffar from Pakistan who is on Hajj as his prize for memorizing the holy Qur'an.
