Sycamore Class have been exploring how Muslims show commitment to Islam through its 5 pillars. One of our students brought their prayer mat to school and showed the class how they perform Salat at home. They also explained how much this means to them.
- Shahadah: sincerely reciting the Muslim profession of faith
- Salat: performing ritual prayers in the proper way five times each day
- Zakat: paying an alms (or charity) tax to benefit the poor and the needy
- Sawm: fasting during the month of Ramadan
- Hajj: pilgrimage to Mecca
“When we pray we are lifting our arms up to the sky to celebrate Allah and how amazing and special he is.”
