In Hazel Class we have been learning about Islam.

We did a virtual tour of several mosques, and looked at what is and isn’t there. Things that we noticed were:

• prayer mats
• timings for prayer
• Imam’s place for leading worship (mihrab)
• washing area (wudhu)
• 99 names of Allah
• Qur’ans and bookshelves

We noticed that you don’t see:

• chairs (apart from for people who aren’t able to worship on the floor)
• pictures of Allah or the prophets
• images from stories in the Qur’an

We designed and made our own models of mosques, using all the things we had learnt.
