Lesson on 22nd April: Islam and Shahadah
Today we started looking at the Five Pillars of Islam, starting with Shahadah. We learned that this is the first thing spoken to new babies, used 5 times a day in the Muslim call to prayer, and Muslims try to make it the last thing they say before they die.
The words are: “ašhadu al lā ilāha illa l-Lāh, wa ašhadu anna muammadar rasūlu l-Lāh” which means
“There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God”.
We also heard the story of Muhammed (PBUH).
Homework (due next week) was to write a brief summary of his life and the starting of Islam. Try to find out some interesting information about his life!
