This term we are learning about the religion, Islam. We will be thinking about these two important questions throughout the term:
What does it mean and why does it matter?
How do Muslims follow the straight path?
We will learn:
- That there is one God = Allah
- That there are 99 names for Allah but not 100 as you can never really understand what God would be like
- That the world and people are supposed to be in harmony
- That the Prophet Muhammed received the Qur’an so he could support others following God.
- The importance of community (ummah) in Islam; belonging to one community of Muslims worldwide – all Muslims working together in harmony to follow the straight path (shariah).
