Our Islam workshop

09 Dec 2021

On Wednesday, we had a special visitor in school; his name was Imran and he is a Muslim. He came into school to share with us lots of interesting information about the Islamic faith. He was a very engaging character, and we were completely fascinated by all that we learnt. 

We started off with a whole school assembly where we learnt about the 5 pillars of Islam.

For our workshop, Imran focused on the 5th pillar of Hajj, which is a pilgrimage to Mecca that Muslims should make once in their lifetime if they have the money to go. 

Imram talked us through his own Hajj trip, and it was captivating to see the pictures and videos he had taken whilst he was there.
We found out that there is only one opportunity a year to go on a Hajj trip and so 2.5 million Muslims go to Mecca at once. We heard about the clothing they wear, the tents (or open air) they sleep in, the hair cuts they have to have, and the activities they do. These include: throwing stones at the three stone representations of the Devils as Ibraham once did; asking for forgiveness from Allah at Mount Arafat; walking anti-clockwise around the Kaaba (Allah's house) 7 times, this is called Tawaf; and walking 7 times between the hills of Safa and Marwa. 

We thoroughly enjoyed our day, and the children's behaviour was impeccable. I was very proud of them.
