The main religious belief of the Muslim religion is Shahada and it means there is
only one god, Allah and his messenger was Muhammad.
Also, if anyone says: There is no god but the one god. They
can become a Muslim.
Salah means prayer, Muslims pray FIVE times a day. Before they pray they have to wash
this is called Wudu :
.Wash hands up to wrists three times
.Wash mouth three times
. Wash nostrils three times
. Wash arms up to elbows three times
. Wipe head all the way round with wet hands
. Wash your ears inside and out with wet fingers
. Wash feet up to ankles three times
. Look up at the sky and point up with your index finger.
When Muslims
Pray they always
face Makah.
All
Muslims
pray on a
praying
mat.
Most men wear Prayer hats to
pray
Zakat
Zakat is about looking after the less fortunate, Each Muslim gives up part of his
money each year to help the poor. The word zakat means to purify or cleanse.
As each gives up part of their money they become cleaned from selfishness
and greed. This money is provided to give education, keep or build new
mosques and to help the needy.
Hajj
Each Muslim has a requirement to try and make a pilgrimage to ka’aba
In Makkah at least once in their lifetime. Thousands of pilgrims crowd
around the Ka’aba as the Hajj begins . They circle the Ka’aba seven
times and then pray at the station of Ibrahim. Ibrahim is said to have
prayed there when he had finished building the Ka’aba. They visit the
Ka’aba at the end of the Hajj.
The Kiswa is the cloth that covers the
Ka’aba it is black with verses from the Qur’an sewn into it with real gold
and silver! A new Kiswa is put on the Ka’aba every year during the Hajj
festival.
Saum
This is all about Ramadam, which is where people don’t eat between
sunrise and sunset... WE COULDN’T DO THAT!!!
Ramadam is in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
It is hugely special to all Muslims because this is when Muhammad
started receiving messages from god. Ramadam starts on a new moon
until the next new moon (30 days). The fast is to remind them What it is
like to be poor and hungry.
