QUICK REVIEW!!
Both the Qur'an and the Sunnah guide
the lives of Muslims, but what is the
main difference between the two?
The Qur'an contains the words of Allah,
and the Sunnah contains stories of
Muhammad's words and actions
First Pillar: Shahadah - declaration of faith. "There is
no god but God (Allah), and Muhammad is his prophet."
Second Pillar: Salat - "prayer is the proof [of faith]." Daily
ritual prayer 5 times a day; at dawn, noon, midday, sunset,
and after nightfall.
Third Pillar: Zakat - "purification [of wealth]." According
to the teachings of Islam, Muslims must share one
fortieth of their income with poorer neighbors to control
greed.
Fourth Pillar: Siyam - fasting (going without food).
Muslims fast during Ramadan (ninth month of the
Muslim calendar) during daylight hours, to emphasize
self control and make them realize what it would be like
to be poor and hungry
Fifth Pillar: Hajj - pilgrimage (journey to a holy site) to
the city of Makkah. All adult Muslims that can do so
are expected to make the hajj once in their lifetime.

NOW YOU WILL ANSWER OUR
ESSENTIAL QUESTION BY CREATING
AN ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT!
The Life of Muhammad
Illuminated Manuscript
Directions: In the middle ages, a common form of artistic expression was the illuminated
manuscript. An illuminated manuscript was a highly decorated document that emphasized the
visual stimulation of those who viewed it. Throughout the world, the majority of people were
illiterate (could not read) so they depended on the art surrounding the writing of the manuscript to
gather meaning. Here is what you are to do:
1. Using your 7.2.2 Life of Muhammad Notes you will create an illuminated manuscript including
the four Arabic words that you wrote in calligraphy and the symbols you created (one from each
section of chapter 8). Make sure that your manuscript is very colorful and decorated with geometric
shapes, symbols, even floral patterns. ***Be careful to NOT include pictures of people or animals.
2. In the center of your illuminated manuscript write a response to the essential question: Who
was Muhammad and how did he influence the lives of Arabians? Your response should focus on
his call tto prophethood, his basic teachings, the influence Muhammad in uniting the people of
Arabia and the impact he had on their spiritual and social beliefs.
You should use your 7.2.2 LIfe of Muhammad Notes as well as your 7.2.3 Teachings of
Islam Fact Flaps and any other resources you feel will help you to organize the best answer
possible.
A checklist has been provided to you to track your progress towards completion.
