Homework B Set date: Check date: Muslims believe there is one God call Allah and he is known via the Risalah (part of the Sunni 6 Arcles of Faith), these are the three ways Allah has communicated with humans: through Books, through the Prophets and through the . Muslim believe that Allah is Transcendent—this means that he is separate or beyond me and space. Muslims believe he must be Transcendent as he created the Universe and therefore must be outside of it. Muslims believe that Allah is All –Powerful, All– Knowing and Merciful. All‐Powerful: This means that Allah can do anything and everything. This is one reason why Muslims pray, they believe Allah is Immanent, this means he is acve in the world. All– Knowing: Muslims believe Allah knows everything people do and think. This means that at Judgement Day humans will be responsible for all the acons they have taken in their lives. Merciful: Muslims believe that Allah forgives those who are truly sorry for their deeds. Muslims can apologise to Allah (and because he is All‐Knowing he will know if they really mean it). Muslims may visit whilst on to apologise. Mt Arafat is where Muslims believe Judgement Day will take place. Muslims believe that humans can never fully understand God as he is beyond human intelligence. They believe that they can try to understand Allah via the Risalah though. Learn the key terms above and answer the quesons below—using the informaon and your own knowledge What is the Risalah? ______Name two characteriscs of the nature of Allah. (2 marks) ______What is ? ( 2 marks) ______How does Allah demonstrate he is Merciful? ______What is the worst sin according to Islam? () ______Informaon Sheet: Prophets (Help with task C, D and K) Read the following informaon to help you complete the tasks on the Prophet Muhammad The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) The Prophet Muhammad is known as the Seal of the Prophets. This is because he is the last Prophet and has been given the final revelaon of Allah’s word. Revelaon means ‘to show’ or ‘reveal’. He is known as the last and greatest of the Prophets. Early Life: Muhammad was born around 570 CE. His father Abdullah died before he was born, and his mother died when he was only 6 years old, so he was brought up by his Grandfather. When he was 8 his Grandfather died. Muhammad was taken in by his Uncle Abu Talib and spent his childhood helping him in his on the caravans (transporng goods across the desert). He was known for his honesty and goodness. Marriage: When he was 25, a rich merchant’s widow called Khadijah asked him to marry her. She was 40 and they had 3 sons who died in infancy and 4 daughters who survived. They were married for 25 years. Muhammad lived in Mecca, a wealthy trading city which was very corrupt and cruel. The rich oppressed the poor which then turned to gambling, drinking and fighng which seemed only to make them unhappy. They worshipped many whom they tried to please with sacrifices, they believed that this was good luck and to upset these gods was bad luck. Muhammad was sure that this was the wrong way to try to be happy. Receiving the Qur’an: Muhammad used to meditate. When he was mediang in a cave on Mount Hira outside Mecca around 610 CE he had an experience that changed his life. Carrying a book, Jibril commanded him to “read.” Muhammad refused the order twice before finally asking about what he was supposed to read. Jibril replied with following verses of the Qur’an: Read [O Muhammad!] in the name of your Lord who created. (96.1) He created man from a clot. (96.2) Read, and your Lord is the Most Honorable (96.3) who taught with the pen. (96.4) The Hijrah …. And because Muhammad's popularity was seen as threatening by the people in power in Mecca. Muhammad’s followers were tortured and treated badly and so Muhammad took his followers on a journey from Mecca to in 622. This journey is called the Hijrah (migraon) and the event was seen as so important for Islam that 622 is the year in which the begins. The return to Mecca: Within ten years Muhammad had gained so many followers that he was able to return and conquer Mecca. From this me on he was generally accepted by the faithful as the true final Prophet of God. He received verses from the Qur’an unl the end of his life. Muhammad connued to lead his community both spiritually and in earthly maers unl his death in 632 CE His Character: Losing his mother at a young age and being put to work early in his childhood made him strong, determined, paent and responsible. He was courageous, honest and trustworthy and was extremely self‐disciplined. These are characteriscs needed for a prophet; especially one that would have the responsibility of delivering the final word of Allah, word that would not be corrupted. His message was that there was NO God but Allah.

Muhammad the leader: Muslims claim that Prophet Muhammad was the greatest polical and religious leader of all me managing to combined both roles perfectly. He allowed religious freedom, gave women rights and cared for the sick and elderly. He inspired the and there are now 1.3 billion Muslims in the world. Homework C Instrucons . Set date: Check date:

Muhammad the individual: Perfect example to others. He was an ordinary man and therefore his example is aainable; we can all be like Muhammad. Being a prophet is not easy, it comes with hardships (i.e. persecuon, doubt and ridicule) but Muhammad through, paence, convicon and true belief in God and submission to God’s will, Muhammad overcame these hardships and we can do the same in our lives. Muhammad strove to make his community a beer place and put his beliefs of equality and jusce into acon e.g. appoinng the first prayer caller who was a black man named Bilal.

Muhammad the family man: Muhammad the teacher: Muhammad was the ulmate family man. There is a theme in the He not only taught how a Qur’an about good fathers e.g. Adam, , Lut, , Ibrahim Muslim should live their life, but and then Muhammad. Islam sees the family as the basis for a led by example. He spoke with successful society. If a family works well they contribute to authority but made it easy for society; society is a family and it reflects the families within in. If others to learn. He spent 13 parents take care of their children and bring them up to be fair, years in Mecca teaching people compassionate and hardworking, society will reflect this. the word of Allah. He taught He had four daughters who he educated (not the custom of the Muslims how to pray and this me) and made sure they were well taken care of. He lost his sons can be seen in every and suffered through this, but belief in Allah gave him strength. day.

Important Points: There are no more prophets, so anyone claiming to have heard independently from Allah is not a Muslim – this can be difficult for Shi’a Muslims who believe that Allah sll speaks to and through Imams who can even add to the Qur’an. As there are no more prophets, Muhammad must be the final example for Muslims. Muslims are encouraged to follow his example and find out all they can about how he lived. For example, Muhammad did not shave his beard off, so Muslim men are encouraged to grow a beard. The Qur’an contains all the beliefs a Muslim needs. This can be difficult in the modern era – for example, reinterpreng how women should be treated 1500 years aer the Qur’an was wrien. If Muhammad is the perfect example, Muslims may fall into the dangerous trap of following Muhammad rather than following the Qur’an. The danger of shirk is difficult to avoid, but the Qur’an says that all prophets should be treated with equal respect.

There are 25 prophets named in the Qur’an including Ibrahim, Adam , Noah, Isa etc. Muslims believe that Allah has chosen people to bring the message of Islam. Prophethood is a gi given to them by Allah. Prophets share Allah’s words – how he wants people to live, Who Allah is. There is more than one Prophet over history because people corrupted Allah’s message or teachings got lost. (think back to your work on Holy Books) therefore Allah has had to send the message again with another Prophet so that people can understand Allah’s teachings correctly without mistakes

Task: Design a mind‐map on the Prophet Muhammad ‐ Teaching in the Qur’an about him and why he is known as the ‘seal’ of the prophets. ‐ His early life and how this prepared him for the role of prophet. ‐ How he received the Qur’an. ‐ What the Qur’an is and why it is so important to Muslims. ‐ His example as a Father ‐ His example as a leader ‐ His example as a teacher ‐ How he showed equality in his life. ‐Why the dang of the Muslim calendar is linked to his life. ‐ What could be a danger of following Muhammad’s example? ‐ Be as detailed as you can and put in any relevant quotes from the Qur’an that fit.

which have either become corrupted or lost—ending with the Qur’an which has not be corrupted or changed. The Qur’an (use the next informaon sheet to help) Informaon Sheet: Holy Books (Help with Task E and K) For Muslims Allah has revealed His message at various points through History. However previous to the Qur’an books that contain this revelaon such as the scrolls of Ibrahim have been lost of have become altered, as in the case of the Tawrat, Zabur and Injil. The Qur’an however has not been altered, it is sll read in the same in which it was wrien and therefore is the most reliable source of Allah’s revelaon. The scrolls of Ibrahim: Very lile is actually known about these scrolls (oen called ‘Suhuf’). These were individual revelaon to Ibrahim ‘the upright one’ who was always faithful to Allah. The revelaons were believed to contain like stories about worship, reflecon and building a livelihood. The scrolls were wrien on parchment but perished over me. The Tawrat: Tawrat is Arabic for which are revelaons given to Musa by Allah on Mount Sanai. Some Muslims equate this to the first 5 books in the (the Pentateuch), others equate the Tawrat to the whole of the Old Testament. The Qur’an confirms that Allah had revealed earlier books. The Tawrat does not exist in its original language as it was wrien down by the followers of Musa () a long me aer his death. Those that put Musa’s words together changes the text, some of it is the word of God and other parts are human addion. This being said, others argue that the Qur’an actually supports the idea that the books have not been lost of added to: ‘None can change His words for He is the one who hears and knows all’, 6:115 (Omnipotence, Omnipresence and omniscience). In Deuteronomy (4:2) (part of the Pentateuch) it says ‘Do not add to what I command and do not subtract from it…’ Also, Muhammad was told to search out meaning and understanding from previously received scripture suggesng that these were in fact reliable. Whatever the case, the Qur’an refers to the Tawrat as ‘guidance and light’, revealed by Allah is clearly very important. Muhammad’s nightly prayers reinforce the importance of the early scripture: In the prayer he puts his life in Allah’s hands (the creator and lord of everything, the source of the Tawrat, the Gospels and the Qur’an) and asked for protecon from Shaytan. The Zabur: The Zabur of Dawud are a collecon of prayers to Allah (oen referred to as poems). Dawud was a great King, whose people were God‐fearing and righteous. In surah 4:163 it says ‘we gave Dawud the Zabur’. They contain lessons of guidance for the people and he recited them in song version. One important message in the Zabur is the idea of Masih (). The Masih was to be a symbol of hope for the future in a world where many had failed to obey Allah’s command. For Muslims Isa (Jesus) is the Messiah and will return at judgement. Injil: The Injil or the Gospels .This is the good news about ISA (Jesus) wrien by his disciples. Muslims highly respect Isa because there are revelaons in the Qur’an about him. Muslims believe: •He was born of a virgin mother. •He was the Masih. •He was not the son of Allah. •He followed Allah. •He was not crucified (he did not die on the cross but he did ascend to Heaven). •He did no die to save sins. One man cannot take the sins of others. Allah is compassionate and He will for‐ give sins. •The Gospels that are found in the Bible contain mistakes because they were wrien a long me aer death.

The Qur’an is important to Muslims because …. (Include the words: Guide / Muhammed / Judgement / Prophet / Instrucon / final ) Informaon Sheet about Prayer: (Help with Task F) ‐ This is prayer. All Muslims who are old enough aim to pray 5 mes a day. Five mes a day Salah offers a wonderful opportunity for a Muslim to improve his/her life. It is a system of spiritual, moral and physical training. It shows obedience to his/or her creator. Sunni Muslims pray 5 mes a day. Shi’a Muslims also do 5 prayers but join up the 2nd and 3rd prayer and the 4th and 5th prayer so pray at 3 mes. Salah begins with ritual washing called Wudu, this involves a set paern of washing which starts with saying “In the name of Allah” and then washing hands 3 mes. Rinsing the mouth out 3 mes. Sniffing water into the nose to clean it three mes. Washing the face 3 mes, from the right ear to the le ear and the forehead to the throat. Washing the right arm then the le arm from the elbow. Passing wet hands over hair and inside and outside of ears. Washing the right foot then the le foot as far as the ankle – all 3 mes. What is Wudu for: Helps a Muslim get in the right frame of mind for prayer. Purifies the soul, cleaning away sin before prayer. Wudu is also called Abluon – making pure. The niyyah (intenon) is made clearing the mind, ‘So woe to those who pray but are heedless of their prayers’ 107:4‐5 The body must be covered to retain modesty. All must cover their heads; men with a topi or prayer hat, women with a hijab or scarf. When praying, Muslims should face the holy city of Makkah. This means that all Muslims are physically and mentally focusing on one place associate with God, in the same way that all Muslims should focus every part of their lives to God. If all prayers are taking place in a mosque, this is easy to achieve. Many mosques have special carpet that look like separate rows or prayer mats, facing the . (semi‐circular niche built into the qiblah wall which shows the exact direcon of Mecca) This gives each person a suitable space to carry out their prayers properly. Muslims stand shoulder to shoulder for prayer.

The Iqamah – second call to prayer signals the intenon to start to pray. Muslims should have now blocked out worldly issues, are purified physically and have total focus on Allah.

The daily prayers are made up of a number of rak’ah, this is a set sequence of acons and recitaons. e.g. – Muslims raise their hands to their ears and say: ‘Allahu Akbar’ God is supreme. Qiyam – Standing, Muslims recite the first Surah ‘In the name of Allah, the compassionate’ and then they choose a Surah to recite. Aer repeang Allahu Akbar again Muslims bow to the waist saying ‘Glory be to my Great Lord, and praise be to Him. Aer declaring Allahu Akbar again, Muslims sink to their knees ‐ – saying ‘Glory be to my Lord the Most Supreme, Allah is Greater than all else’ (prostraon – kneeling with the forehead, nose, hands, knees and toes touching the floor, in submission to God.) They kneel again and then Sujud is repeated saying ‘All praise be to my Lord the Most High’. Finally ‘Allahu Akbar’ is said and Muslims then stand. The next rak’ah begins……. At the end of the prescribed Rak’ah’s (2 for the dawn prayer and 4 for the night prayer for example) Muslims will turn their heads to the right and le to acknowledge other worshippers and their guardian angels.

Challenge: A Muslim would need to be self‐disciplined to pray so oen in a day and it can be difficult to pray at the correct me when working or in school so many Muslims will catch up prayers. Also having the correct facilitates at work to wash before prayer and having a quiet clean place to pray in can present a challenge. Benefits: Physical and Spiritual training. Demonstrates obedience to Allah. Opportunity to improve their life. Worship Allah and pray for forgiveness and concerns. Chance to refocus throughout the day. Objects are used to help with Salah. The objects are prayer rugs (used for cleanliness) these are used by Sunni Muslims and tasbeh – (prayer beads used to help praise Allah. There are 99 beads). Muslim men will also cover their heads with a Topi and women a headscarf called Hijab, as a sign of respect and an awareness that Allah is always above them. Muslims prostrate to the ground during prayer to show that they are subming to Allah. Homework F Set date: Check date:

Informaon sheet on Sawm (Help with task I) Sawm – fasng during Ramadan ‘Oh believers! Fasng is prescribed to you as it was for those before you that you may learn self‐restraint’ (Qur’an 2:183)

Ramadan – most important month for Muslims in the Islamic calendar – month during which they believe the Qu’ran started to be revealed to Muhammad. The whole focus during the month of Ramadan is on God, for which purity of thought is required in order to cleanse the soul and free it from harm. Fasng requires considerable self‐disciple, but it allows Muslims to show they can sacrifice their physical needs as evidence of their submission to God. Muslims get up early and eat before the and then at dusk they eat iar, which is usually something sweet like dates, before going to . Aer this Muslims will eat dinner before spending the evening reading the Qur’an or praying du’as (personal prayers). Oen there are later prayers in the mosque called tarawih prayers with 20 rak’ahs behind the imam.‘It was in the month of Ramadan that the Qur’an was revealed as guidance for mankind… So any one who is present that month should fast, and anyone who is ill or on a journey should make up for the lost days by fasng on other days later’. Qur’an 2:18 Night of Power Marks the beginning of God’s revelaon to Muhammad – exact date is not agreed – believed to be one of the odd‐numbered dates in the second half of Ramadan. ‘What will explain to you what that Night of Glory is? The Night of Glory is beer than a thousand months’ Qur’an 97:2‐3. This means that observing the night of power gives Muslims the benefits of worshipping for a thousand months. Because of this, Muslims try to keep awake throughout the night on each of the possible dates, devong themselves to prayers and studying the Qur’an. What is given up? Not only food and drink in daylight hours but also sexual relaons. Time should not be wasted on material things such as TV, video games and idle chat. Ramadan should not be used as an excuse to avoid things that Muslims know they should do but do not really want to. This would in fact break the fast because the intenon is incorrect. They should consider their behaviour towards others making it always helpful and friendly. Many Muslims will aim to read the Qur’an over the 30 days, they will pray Du’as and there are later prayers in the mosque. Excepons to fasng Those excused are supposed to make up for it later if they can. They can be excused for health reasons – for example pregnant women, mothers nursing babies. The ill – they need medicaon and nutrion. The young and elderly as they need nourishment. Travellers and menstruang women can make up the fasng days later. Benefits of Ramadan Brings them closer to Allah./ It is the month of forgiveness. Muhammad said all sins are forgiven for those who fast. /Focus on the important things in life – put their faith first and hopefully keep this focus for the rest of the year/ Each year Ramadan reminds them. Sawm is designed to keep pung people back on the right path/ Self‐discipline – able to resist temptaon. To put the Spiritual before the material/ Reminds Muslims of the poor who feel hungry all the me – gives them empathy/ Inspires Muslims to find ways to help the poor/ Appreciate what Allah has given them. Zakah is given in Ramadan/ Builds personal qualies like self‐determinaon, piety, humility and courage.

Id‐ul‐Fitr Id‐ul‐Fitr is celebrated at the end of Ramadan. It is the start of the new month, Shawwal, brought in by the sighng of the new Moon. Origins It is said that the Prophet Muhammad said that God had appointed two days that were beer to celebrate ‐ Id‐ul‐Fitr (‘fesval of breaking of the fast’ – Lesser Eid) and Id‐ul‐Adha (fesval that performs part of Hajj – Greater Eid) than fesvals that were celebrated before Islam came to Madinah. Why is Id‐ul‐Fitr important? It means the ‘fesval of breaking of the fast’ but is also called the Sweet Fesval or Lesser Eid. It marks the end of the month of Ramadan and the fasng. Muslims not only celebrate the end of a whole month of fasng but are thanking God for the strength and help God has given them to fast for a month. Muslims also give thanks to God for providing his guidance and wisdom in the Qur’an, the first revelaon of which was made during the month of Ramadan. It reminds Muslims that Allah needs to be the focus of everything and me should not be wasted on material things. The Qur’an and prayer should dominate me. How is it celebrated? Id‐ul‐Fitr may be celebrated for One, Two or Three days. Muslims gather together in mosques or large outdoor areas to say special prayers. The imam’s sermon usually reminds Muslims that they should forgive and forget any differences or disputes that have occurred during the year and focus instead on helping the poor. The prayers include two sermons explaining the rules for paying Zakah. Oen it is the men who aend a special Eid prayers. Give greengs of Eid Mubarak as the fast is broken by the simple eang of dates. Everyone wears their best clothes or new clothes. Special foods are eaten. Cards and presents are exchanged. Women may decorate hands and feet with henna the night before.

Informaon Sheet on Prophets (part 2) Help with Task: K Adam was the first Human. He gave into temptaon and tried the fruit he was forbidden Allah made man from clay. The angels collected soil – red, white, brown and black, smooth and griy, so and hard. It came from all parts of the earth. Allah honoured Adam. He blew life into his soul. He ordered his angels to bow down before Adam as a sign of respect and honour. Is descendants were to be as diverse as the clay he was created from. Everything Adam needed was created for him to be the caretaker of the earth. Allah taught him, and he was able to idenfy names, language, and to communicate. Allah gave him the thirst for learning, and the ability to reason, evaluate and make choices. Allah revealed to him the food that Muslims are allowed to eat – Halal. He also revealed to Adam how to bury the dead. Adam was tempted by , (a Djinn, or supernatural creature), to try the fruit in the Garden of Eden and fell from grace. A whirlwind expelled him from the Garden of Eden, and he came to his senses on Mount Arafat where he confessed his sin and was forgiven by Allah. In doing this, he become the first prophet of Allah. Mount Arafat is sll important to Muslims today during the month of Hajj, as a place to confess sin and receive the forgiveness of God. Muslims believe that Adam built the first Ka’aba in Mecca, which was later destroyed in the Flood. ADAM “Indeed, I am going to set a viceregent on the earth.” (Surah 2:30) Why is Adam important? Adam is important in Islam because he was the first man, and because he is a symbol of the mercy of God, forgiving even when someone commits sin.

Ibrahim destroyed the people’s idols except one in the temples and preached about Allah. When people asked why he was doing this he said to ask the remaining idol, which of course did not answer. Ibrahim asked why they worshipped useless idols and the people called for him to be burned. A fire was built and Ibrahim chained and catapulted into it. An spoke to him in the fire asking what he wanted most and he said to please Allah. Allah commanded the fire to be cool. It was a miracle and the chains were burned but Ibrahim un‐ touched. Ibrahim connued to receive revelaons and write them on scrolls called Suhuf. Many of Ibrahim’s acons as well as Hajar his wife are remembered when a Muslim performs Hajj. ‐Running between two hills Safa and Marwa ‐Sacrificing a lamb at Ed al Adha ‐Throwing stones a the Jamarat (pillars/walls) at Mina that represent the to reject the devil. Why is Ibrahim important? Worshipped the one God even when was surrounded by people who worshipped idols. He taught the message that there was only ONE God. Muslims follow his teachings on Tawhid. He preached the message of ONE God but was oen rejected. Allah sent a miracle to save Ibrahim when people tried to burn him, Allah cooled the fire so he was not hurt, and then people started to follow him. Rebuilt the Ka’ aba and dedicated it to Allah. This is the direcon that all Muslims pray in to show that they worship Allah and demonstrate their unity. Was willing to sacrifice his Son – his most precious thing – for Allah. Allah stopped him but Ibrahim’s willingness demonstrates his faith. This is remembered during Eid al Adha at the end of Hajj. Ibrahim ignored the temptaons of the devil and threw stones at the devil to reject him. This acon is remem‐ bered on Hajj when pilgrims throw stones at 3 stone pillars.
