What did you see and do at the Mosque?
We took our shoes off , went inside the Mosque and sat down. There was a Muslim lady who talked to us about the Mosque and how it was made, aspects of her culture and rituals and prayers of the Islam religion
What did you learn? Identify major items/facts
She told us about the 5 pillars of Islam and the daily times muslims have to pray. She told us about how they pray, what they say and what it means. I also learnt that women pray upstairs in the mosque so both genders are not distracted and are fully focused on prayer. I learnt that there are 99 characteristics of Allah and that men have to attend compulsory prayer sessions on fridays.
What did you gain from the experience?
I gained an insight into the religion of Islam which I had never had a chance to experience and sat in a Mosque for the first time.
