Muslim Kids Video – The Story of ZamZam
This short animated video is a great summary of the story of zamzam for young and new learners. [And, us oldies too. 
] It’s an important Islamic story for all Muslims to know, especially because it’s one of the actions we perform during Hajj.
We’d love to see what you think of this movie. So, please share your experiences with us in the comments section below. As always, if you have an Islamic movie video or nasheed you’d like to share, please let us know about it by clicking here.

Comprehensive List of 2010 Free Summer Movies for Kids – Nationwide
While the summer weeks months are quickly passing by us, I totally forgot to search for all the possible free flicks my family can enjoy. So, I compiled this new list. Given our economy, it wasn’t a surprise to find that many threatres are now charging a buck or two for admissions. But, be sure to check the fine print of the various websites, because I noticed discounted kids snack packages, rules against size and/or kinds of bags, big purses, first-come first-served rules with door opening times, etc.
Fortunately, we’re still mid-way through July, and all the programs listed below are still running. There are a few that run into late August too.
