Ina moving show of fraternity and religious harmony, local Kashmiri Hindus welcomed pilgrims returning from Hajj -- an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia -- by doing aarti, singing an Islamic religious song, shaking hands, and giving them rose flowers.

Sharing a short video clip purportedly from the Srinagar airport, Uttar Pradesh MLA Abbas Bin Mukhtar Ansari said Kashmiri Pandits lined up outside the airport and sang 'Naat' -- poetry in praise of Prophet Muhammad -- and congratulated them on their pilgrimage. The video clip shows a group of men joyously singing in unison while welcoming people exiting the airport with their luggage.

"When the pilgrims who returned after performing Haj came out of the Srinagar airport, Kashmiri Pandit brothers welcomed and congratulated them by performing aarti while reciting the Naat. Hope this love doesn't catch the evil eyes of politics," he wrote in Hindi along with the video.

Nails should not be clipped on a Wednesday as some Ahadeeth (plural of Hadith) have censored doing so. Although Zaeef (weak) in transmission but established nonetheless, some traditions state that clipping nails on a Wednesday causes leprosy.

In a video posted on the Facebook page of ICOB Academy, a full time Islamic elementary school in Cliffwood Beach, NJ on June 10, 2024, children performed a "mock hajj." They simulated the rituals included in the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, including the sacrifice of a sheep. Young children can be seen simulating the sacrifice of a sheep, pretending to slaughter a sheep doll with a plastic knife. According to its website, ICOB Academy is associated with the Islamic Center of Old Bridge, NJ, and it caters to students from Pre-K 3 through grade 4.

Teacher 1: "Hold on, Habibi. Yeah, hold it for him. Okay. Go ahead. [Slaughter] here. Say: 'In the name of Allah.' Go ahead. No, like this. Like this. Say: 'Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar!' Are we done?"

Teacher 1: "Enough. Enough. Okay. Get up. Allah be praised. We're done. That's the day of praying. Now, I have to be doing exactly what I'm gonna say. You are going to go to something called Tawaf Al-Ifadah. We are still making Hajj."
