This week we are continuing looking at the Muslim celebration Aqiqah, which is where they celebrate the birth of a new baby. Celebrating a new member of the Muslim community (ummah) – Is something that Muslims give thanks for and see as a blessing . This week we will be looking to understand the importance of the 'whisper the call to prayer' (adhaan) into the baby's ear. What is a prayer? What is the difference between a whisper and shouting? What kinds of things do you whisper ... play Chinese whispers .. how hard was it to hear the information ? now shout it .. why do people whisper?
