Today, we had a special visitor who came to talk to us and teach us all about the Muslim religion. We learnt that Muslims have 5 things they must do: 1. Believe in Allah (one God) and a special messenger Muhammed. 2. Pray 5 times a day. During prayer, you must take your shoes off, your clothes must be clean, you must wear a hat if you’re a boy and girls must wear a head scarf to cover their hair to be respectful to Allah and finally face Allah’s house. 3. Visit Allah’s house and wear two white sheets of cloth and walk around Allah’s house 7 times anti-clockwise. 4. Help the poor people. 5. Celebrate Ramadan. When the sunsets you can eat and drink. We also learnt about the Quran, how its read from right to left and that Muslims put it in a high place, they put nothing on it and they do not put it on the floor as it is so special to them. We learnt that Muslims do not eat ham, pork, bacon (pig).
