What does the word

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 –
Graeme 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.
Q. What do you all do together, to
create a sense of community in the
school?
(assemblies, uniform, lunch together, same timetable etc.)
In your groups
Discuss in your
group what you
could do to make a
strong feeling
of community in
Graeme High.
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.
In Islam the worldwide
community of Muslims is
called the Ummah.
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 - 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) 2.5%
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 is
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.
Why do you think it is considered the
most important?
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.
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.
It is the first words whispered into a
newborn baby’s ears and the last words a
dying Muslim will try to say.
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?
