What does the word
community mean??
It means - a group of people who live together, work
together, or have the same interests and hobbies, and
do things together.
You all belong to a community – Woking high school
community.
Some communities do
certain things together
to keep the community
together, and to give
everyone a sense of
being in that community.
What do you all do together, to
create a sense of community in the
school?
(assemblies, uniform, lunch
together, same timetable etc.)
You will be split into groups.
Discuss in your groups what you
could do to make a strong feeling
of community with the other group
once you have joined together?
People of different religions do
certain things to create a strong
sense of community, even though
they may have never met,
and live in
different places
around the world.
Muslims have five duties which are
called the Five Pillars of Islam.
Every Muslim tries to carry out
these five pillars, and it helps them
to feel that they are members of
the worldwide Muslim community.
The Five Pillars of Islam are the most important Muslim
practices.
Just like real pillars of a building are there to support
the building - the pillars of Islam are there to support
the faith of Islam.
The 5 pillars helps Muslims to show their obedience to
God.
Some of the pillars must be performed every
day, some once a year and one must be
completed only once in their lifetime.
The five pillars are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Shahadah –Declaration of faith
Salat – Daily 5 prayers
Zakat – yearly tax (like charity)
Sawm – yearly - To fast in the month of
Ramadan
5. Hajj – The pilgrimage to Makkah – to be
done once in a Muslims lifetime.
How do YOU show obedience to your
parents?
To your school?
To your teacher?
How do you think obedience/submission
shown to God (Allah) when a Muslim does
any of the 5 pillars??
The Shahadah is the first
Pillar of Islam. Shahadah is
the Declaration of Faith.
So basically its TO SAY
that one believes In Allah
and his final Prophet.
It is something that every
person must believe in TO
BE A Muslim. It is the
most important pillar of all
pillars.
Muslims believe you cannot be a Muslim if
you don’t say and believe in the
Shahadah. It is not enough to just say
they believe – they MUST ACT on what
they believe.
So the Shahadah is the foundation of the
religion. This allows Muslims to practise
the other pillars. By doing the other
pillars – this shows obedience to God.
Work on your
worksheets
If you have completed your worksheets
(including the extension task) start to think
about what kind of duties YOU have to do on a
daily basis, or once a month or once a year.
What are those duties? Which ones do you find
difficult?
By sincerely uttering the Shahadah the Muslim
accepts Allah as the one and only Creator of
all, and the Supreme Authority over
everything and everyone in the universe.
Therefore a Muslim closes his/her heart and
mind to loyalty, devotion and obedience to,
trust in, dependence on, and worship of
anything or anyone other than Allah.
Why do you think the Shahadah
is the first and most important
pillar of Islam?
Discuss with the person next to
you your opinion with reason.
Be ready to feedback to class.
The Shahadah in Arabic :
‘There is no God But God and Muhammad is his
messenger.’
What does it mean when it says – there
is no God but God?
Did we reach today's objectives?

life?
