Today we had a special visit from Imran who came to speak to us about the Islamic faith. Imran talked to us about being a Muslim and shared with us the five pillars of Islam; belief, prayer, charity, fasting and pilgrimage. After lots of discussion, Imran shared some special items that are linked with his religion. Imran brought a Qur'an to share with us and showed how it is opened in a different way to other books because of the language that the Qur'an is written in. Imran then shared a prayer with us in Arabic which we all really enjoyed, some of the children even said that it sounded like a song! Imran then continued to show us other special items from his religion; a head scarf and hat, prayer beads, a prayer mat, a special oil from Saudi Arabia and some dates which are eaten when Muslims are fasting. The children had the opportunity to touch, wear and even taste some of the items that Imran had brought to share with us and really enjoyed the lesson. The children were very excited to share all of the new things that they had learnt about the Islamic religion and are excited to continue to learn more!
