Would you like to journey to the Blessed Lands, walk in the footsteps of the Prophets, and transform your steps into life-saving support for families in Palestine?
This sisters-only challenge takes place during the 10 blessed days of Dhul Hijjah among the most sacred days in the Islamic calendar, when good deeds carry immense reward.
Over six days in Al-Quds (Jerusalem), you will pray at Masjid Al-Aqsa, reflect in sacred spaces, and take part in a guided 10km Walk for Water challenge around the Al-Aqsa compound and Old City.
Your physical effort will directly support vital water projects, emergency food assistance, and medical aid for vulnerable families in Palestine — turning worship into action, and footsteps into mercy. Join us for a journey of faith, sisterhood, and purpose. Let us walk the blessed lands together, insha’Allah.
Every image from the Aqsa Challenge captures a moment of faith, reflection, and shared purpose. Taken during the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah, these scenes reflect quiet prayers, meaningful footsteps, and the powerful bond of sisterhood formed along the way. From time spent in Masjid Al Aqsa to the 10km Walk for Water around the Al Aqsa compound and Old City, each photograph tells a story of worship in motion.
Al-Aqsa, our heart.
