As part of our Term 2 Homework grid, you were asked to carry out a Literacy/RME topic task to research information about the religion of Islam. (Beliefs, prayer or worship)
Did you know:
- Muslims follow the religion of Islam and believe Allah to be their one and only God
- The religious symbol is a crescent moon and a star
- The Muslim scripture is the holy book named the ‘Qur’ran’ which is in the Arabic language and read from the back to the front
- Muslims are called to prayer five times a day from the minaret or they pray at home using a prayer mat facing the Kaaba in Mecca
- Muslims gather together to worship Allah in a sacred building called a Mosque
- When people go into the mosque they take off their shoes to keep it clean for prayer.
- There is often a fountain with water where people can wash which is called wudu
Today we had some pupils sharing with us how they used their ICT skills and presented their Islam facts to the class. Well done!
Our next step is to learn about the Five Pillars of Islam; five duties that every Muslim is obliged to perform.
