This is quite a difficult topic, so please ask me if you want help.

Good luck! Remember that copying and pasting from Wikipedia proves nothing and won’t get you any marks!

Sharia Law homework

Mr Bigg — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:59:11 +0000

Your task is to find out a little bit more about Sharia Law. Try to find out some information and put it in your own words…

A good place to start is the BBC Religion website.

99 Names of Allah

Mr Bigg — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:51:56 +0000

For today’s task you need to create a landscape orientated A4 piece of work which shows information about one of Allah’s names. You will all be given a different name to find out about.

Your poster needs to include:

A picture of the name in Arabic
What the name means and its number
How you say the name in English
Verses from the Qu’ran that include the name
Extension: Some Muslims believe that if you say the name enough you will be blessed. What blessing does the name your are looking at bring?

Websites to use (beware – some count “Allah” as the first name, but we are not using this name. On these sites you’ll need to add 1 to the number I give to get the right name):

Start with Wikipedia. The number I give you will be in this list. There are more links at the bottom.
Use Art Islamic.com to get pictures of the names in Arabic. You may have to do a little searching…(this website counts Allah as the first name, be careful)
IslamicPath.org has information about the benefits of using each name, as does BreatheIslam. Both use “Allah” as the first name.
Sufism.org has some useful information
Use Quran.com to look up verses

Good luck!
