THE 5 PILLARS
Islam is based on five pillars. This
means it is based on five very important
things that we MUST follow.
1. Shahadah - To believe in and worship

only Allah. To believe that Muhammad
(pbuh) is His messenger.
2. Salah - We must pray the Salah five

times a day. The daily prayers are Fajr,
Zohr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha.
3. Zakah - We purify our wealth by

giving a small amount to the poor. This
is given from our extra wealth.
4. Sawm - Means fasting in the month

of Ramadhan. We fast from before Fajr
until Maghrib (sunset).
5. Hajj - Is the pilgrimage to Makkah.

We perform the Hajj at least once in our
lifetime, if we can do it.

I
ISLAM
Islam is the deen of the Muslims. Islam
is an Arabic word which is taken from
the words peace and submission.
We submit to Allah by choosing to

follow His guidance and to not do
anything against His wishes.
When we follow Islam, there is peace:

peace in our lives; peace in the
community and peace in the world.
Islam is not only a religion but a way of

life. Islam is the way of life for all the
Muslims in the world.
A Muslim is a person who follows the

command of Allah in every part of his or
her life.
Islam is not a new religion. All the

people who followed the true teachings
of their prophets were Muslims.

I
SHAHADAH
When people become Muslims they say
the shahadah with their mouths. They
also believe it in their hearts.
Shahadah means to bear witness to

something. In Islam, it means to bear
witness to the oneness of Allah.
The first part is to bear witness that

there is only one God - Allah - Who
alone we worship.
The second part is to bear witness that

Muhammad (pbuh) is the last and final
messenger of Allah.
A person who believes the shahadah in

his or her heart is indeed a Muslim. All
Muslims believe the Shadahah.
All prophets taught that Allah is one,

without a partner or a son. They told us
to worship only Allah.

Important things Islam teaches

I
I
be good
We must try our best to be good

and follow Islam like we should,
by showing respect to mum and dad
and keeping away from evil and bad.
We must stay on the path that is straight

and a great love for truth it will create.
By leaving all our selfishness behind,
we will become just, honest and kind.
We should go to the mosque and pray

and learn about Islam every day.
Only if we practice all that we learn,
happiness and paradise we will earn.

I
I
Shahadah
To believe that Allah is only one,

the creator of everything - including man.
Its Allah we worship, to him we pray,
the Lord and Master of the final day.
In Muhammad we also believe,

prophethood and wahi he did receive.
He was the last and final guide,
whose message will forever reside.
So leave falsehood and evil aside

and let Islam in our hearts abide.
Success and happiness will only thrive
when the Shahadah in our heart is alive.

Islam teaches us many important lessons. It teaches us
to always be good. Write down some of the things
Islam teaches us.

of Islam

should do everyday

al qur'an
...This day I have perfected your

religion for you, completed my favours
upon you, and have chosen Islam as
your religion
Surah Al Ma'idah(5): verse 3
The Qur'an was revealed over a period of 23

years. The verses of the Qur'an came down
piecemeal (a little at a time) untilthe Qur'an was
completed.
We learn that Allah chose the name Islam as our

way of life. We learn that Islam is the perfect way
of life. We also learn that Islam is based purely on
the guidance of Allah - it is not man made.
Nothing new should be added to Islam because

Allah had already perfected and completed it.
INTERESTING FACTS
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. More people are accepting
Islam than any other religion. It is the fastest growing religion in Europe and
America.
The truth of Islam is clearly seen in the Holy Qur'an which has helped improve
the lives of billions of humans. Even today, people turn to the Qur'an for
guidance and are moved by the words of Allah.

Hadith means news or information. In Islam, Hadith refers to sayings

and doings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh); actions done with his approval
and information which is related to him (e.g. his description).
I
be a'mazed
Its time for Fajr Salah. Help
Abdullah get to the Masjid as
quickly as possible.
Salah is an important part of Islam. Muslims must

perform Salah, five times a day. The five prayers are
Fajr, Zohr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha.
According to Hadith, a person who performs Salah
with Jamaat (congregation) will get 27 times more
reward than performing it on his own.

I Touched by the
truth
Musab bin Umair and Asad bin Zurarah were sitting under the
shade of a wall, resting from the hot desert sun. Earlier that
morning they had been talking to some of the people of Yathrib
about Islam. As they sat and rested, they chatted with each other.
Suddenly, Usaid bin Hudair came towards them and was angry,
in fact he was very angry. He had his spear with him and was
looking to sort someone out. He saw the two companions talking
to each other and recognised them. He began to march towards
them, shaking his spear menacingly as he strode.
Now Usaid wasnt a violent fellow but was a strong and

courageous man. He was very well respected in Yathrib and was
considered an intelligent and wise person. He was the chief of
his tribe but had spent his life worshipping idols.
When he reached the two friends, he spoke to them angrily. He

said that he wasnt happy that these two Muslims were speaking
to the people of Yathrib. He knew that many people had
accepted Islam but he felt that idol worship was still the correct
religion!
Musab knew that Usaid was very angry and might not listen to
them. Musab spoke to him in a soft and gentle voice. Brother,
he said, Why dont you sit with us for a few moments and listen
to what we have to say? Musab continued, If you dont like
what we say then do as you wish.
This was a reasonable idea and Usaid accepted it. He stuck his
spear into the sand and sat down to listen to what they had to
say. Musab explained to him about Islam and how it was the
correct way of life for human beings. He told him that Islam
encouraged people to be good and to leave all bad and evil
things. He spoke to him about Allah and about the day of
Judgement. He talked for a short time and then recited some
verses of the Qur'an.

I Touched by the
truth - part 2
The expression on Usaids face changed as the words
melted his heart. His anger went away and tears of joy
rolled down his cheeks. He had seen the truth and knew
that these wonderful words of wisdom could only be from
Allah. They moved him so much that he hugged Musab
and accepted Islam on the spot.
Usaid had experienced the truth and became a pious and

respected Muslim. He was kind and considerate and
would help the poor and needy. The people of Yathrib
loved him even more and respected this just and
honourable man. The words of wisdom and truth had
changed him just as it has changed billions of lives
throughout the world.
THE MESSAGE OF THE QUR'AN
Many people have studied Islam in the past. Whenever a

person comes to the Qur'an with an open and sincere
heart, Allah guides that person. This 'hidayah' - true
guidance - is a great gift and blessing from Allah.
We should spend a little time everyday studying the

Qur'an, not just reading the Qur'an in Arabic but also
understanding the message and guidance of the Qur'an.
The Qur'an may be over 1400 years old but the message
is still important and relevant today. This is part of the
miracle of the Qur'an.
May Allah guide us all to the truth and keep us on the

straight path. (Ameen)

I Great Sadness and
Joy
Abdul Muttalib had been very sad at the death of his son,
Abdullah. He had loved Abdullah more than any of his
other sons. However, Abdullah had recently passed away
whilst returning from a trade journey. This was near
Yathrib and he was buried there.
What saddened Abdul Muttalib more was that Abdullah

had passed away so shortly after his marriage to the lady
Amina. It was a great match and everyone in Makkah had
been overjoyed with this wonderful union.
Amina was very sad by the sudden death of her husband.

She didnt want Abdullah to go on this trade journey in the
first place. Instead, she wanted to spend some time with
her new husband whom she loved dearly.
From all this sadness there suddenly came the sounds of

celebration coming from Aminas house. People rushed to
find Abdul Muttalib to give him the good news but he
could not be seen anywhere. They knew the best place to
find him would be at the Ka'bah so they rushed there.
When they finally met Abdul Muttalib they gave him the
good news of the birth of his grandson. Abdul Muttalib
was overjoyed at this wonderful news and thanked Allah
for this great blessing and happiness.
Little did Abdullah know that this child would become the
greatest person to walk on the face of this Earth. This
child grew up to become Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the
last and final messenger of Allah.

JUSTICE
On the day of Judgement, those people
who were just in ruling will be shaded
under the throne of Allah.
The people who were just will be seated

on pulpits made of light, in the presence
of Allah.
When a nation is ruled with justice, the

effects are felt all around. The effects
are even felt by animals.
One moment in the life of a just ruler is

better than sixty years of worship.
In Muslim history, even high profile

rulers were brought to court to answer
charges made by common people.
On the day of Judgement, Allah will

mete out justice to the oppressed -
oppressors will be brought to justice.

j
CHARACTER
Islam teaches us good manners. The
Prophet (pbuh) said, "The best of you
are those who have the best manners."
The Prophet(pbuh) is our role model so

we should try to be like him. We should
take his advice on all matters.
We must always be honest and tell the

truth. We should never lie or deceive
anyone. We must be trustworthy.
We must be kind and helpful to all. We

mustn't look down on others nor think
we are superior to them.
We must show respect to our parents

by being helpful and kind to them. We
should listen to them and obey them.
We can't bully, hit or insult anyone.

These qualities are not from Islam and
Allah doesn't like the unjust.

How do we become good? Here is a clue.

Whenever we say anything, it must be true.
When we play outside, we must not fight.
When we talk to others, we say what is right.
We must try to be friendly and never rude

and also be happy and in a good mood.
We must be trustworthy so we dont steal
and for suffering of others we must feel.
We must help both our mum and dad

and never hurt others or make them sad.
We must listen to what the teachers say;
to the path of goodness, this is the way.

bad boy
This is about a boy, who was very bad,

who made his parents feel very sad.
He was very lazy and would wake up late.
He would gulp his food, not emptying the plate.
He would not share even his smallest toy

and would bully his brother, a little boy.
When his mother told him to go to bed,
he would ignore everything that she said.
Wanting a toy, he would kick and scream

and didn't care about others, it would seem.
He would not wash so was covered in grime
and was greedy and selfish all the time.

The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was the last and final
messenger of Allah. His life and character is an
example for us to follow. Do you know about:

al qur'an
and let not the hatred of others to

you make you swerve to wrong and
depart from justice. Be just: that is
closer to piety
(Qur'an 5:8)
This Qur'an Ayat tells us to always be just. If we

are just then this will bring us closer to Allah and
will help us be good Muslims.
When we deal with people we should be fair to

them. It might be that they are enemies or have
been bad to us in the past. We should not let this
influence our dealings with them.
If we are in a position of power, we should not

abuse this by showing favour to one person over
another because they might be a friend or relative.
INTERESTING FACTS
In the books of seerah, we find that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a very
fair and just person. It was through these qualities that people saw the good
character and conduct of Muhammad (pbuh) and became Muslims. At the
conquest of Makkah, people saw the mercy and kindness of Muhammad
(pbuh) and thousands of people accepted Islam.
We too should study seerah and learn a valuable lesson from this great man.

Abdullah just heard the Adhan for
Salah. Get him to the masjid as
quick as possible before Jamaat.
The Adhan is the call to prayer. It is used to let the

people know that the time for prayer has started and
to hurry to the Masjid. The Mu'azin reads the Adhan
out in a loud voice so that people can hear it.
Just before the main congregational prayer (jamaat),
the Mu'azin recites the Iqamat.

j Muhammad bin
Qasim
Back in the history of Islam, the Muslim empire was enormous.
Hundreds of thousands of people had accepted Islam causing
the Muslim world to spread from Arabia into many different
countries. Within a short space, the Islamic world had spread
into Africa and Asia so there were Muslims of many different
backgrounds, colours and languages.
However, there were many problems on one of its borders. The

people and tribes that were against Islam had moved to the
countries near the edge of the Muslim empire and would attack
and rob the people living there. They became a nuisance and
would cause a lot of bloodshed.
The Muslim rulers of the lands were very worried for the welfare
of these people who were both Muslims and non-Muslims. They
had lived in harmony in the past and enjoyed the benefit of living
in this peaceful land. All the peace had gone and the people
were now terrified.
The ruler decided to send a big army to guard this border and
sort these rebels and bandits out. Before long, a Muslim army
was sent there and peace was restored to this whole area.
However, all these different groups continued to attack the army
and eventually defeated it. Before very long, the state of the
country had returned to chaos with small armies coming into the
Muslim lands and attacking its people.
The king sent a second army, which resulted in the same

conclusion. Finally, the ruler decided to send his nephew,
Muhammad bin Qasim, to this land with another army to patrol
the area and to restore peace, harmony and prosperity.
Now Muhammad was just a youngster of seventeen but he loved

to study from his teachers in the Islamic colleges and
universities. He had a great love for Islam and would try and live
his life according to Islam.

j Muhammad bin
Qasim - part2
When Muhammad bin Qasim got to the lands he managed to
restore peace very quickly. He then continued looking after the
people in those lands.
The army he commanded also loved and respected this

youngster. They loved the way he dealt with the people and the
concern he had for their welfare. They liked the way he resolved
all issues according to Islam. They loved the fact that he was
dedicated to Islam and was an intelligent and fair man.
Before long, many people began to move to the Muslim lands. All
the lands near by also became part of the Muslim world. The
people accepted Islam in their droves and before very long Islam
spread throughout all the neighbouring countries.
These people that accepted Islam long ago were from the lands
known today as Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and
Kashmir. It was through this youngster and his love for justice
and fairness that there are Muslims in these countries today.
LIVING BY ISLAM
Whenever a ruler has been just and has ruled according to

Islam, we find that there was prosperity and peace. There are
many cases throughout history which lead us to the same
conclusion.
The opposite case is also true. Whenever the rulers have been
corrupt and no longer act according to the noble teachings and
principles of Islam, there has been chaos and devastation.
We learn a valuable lesson from this. We should try our best to

live according to the teachings of Islam and be good and upright
people. If we live according to these principles, Allah will give us
prosperity and peace within our lives. Allah will also reward us in
the hereafter with Jannah (insha'Allah).

HAJJ
Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. Muslims
must make the pilgrimage to Makkah at
least once in their lifetime.
Although people can visit Makkah

anytime, we can only perform the Hajj
in the Month of Zul Hijjah.
During Umrah and Hajj, we walk around

the Ka'bah seven times then we drink
some zam zam.
We then walk between the two hills of

Safah and Marwah (Sa'i), 7 times. We
then cut our hair or shave our head
During Hajj (8th til 13th Zul Hijjah), we

spend time in Mina, Arafah and
Muzdalifa. We do the Ramy of Jamarat.
During these days, Hajjis wear the

Ihram- two pieces of white unstiched
cloth. Women just wear simple clothes.

k
KA'BAH FACTS
Whenever Muslims pray,they face the
direction of the Ka'bah. The Ka'bah is in
Makkah in Saudi Arabia.
The Ka'bah was the first house for the

worship of Allah. Millions of people
come to Makkah annually.
The Ka'bah forms the shape of a cube.

It has no windows. The door is about
two meters from the ground.
The Ka'bah has a Hateem (looks like a

small semi-circular wall) near it. It was
originally part of the Ka'bah.
People go around the Ka'bah seven

times. They recite duas as they walk.
They also kiss the Hajar-e-Aswad.
The Hajar-e-Aswad is a stone which

came from heaven. It was white but the
sins of mankind have made it black.

k
ARAFAH
The day of Arafah is the most important
day of Hajj. The Prophet (pbuh) said
that Hajj is Arafah.
People stand from noon til sunset in the

plains and slopes of mount Arafah. They
make dua to Allah.
Many people weep and ask Allah for

forgiveness and other such favours.
Allah listens to all duas.
Its like a scene from the last day where

all humans will stand before Allah,
awaiting their fate.
The day of Arafah is on the 9th day of

Zul Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic
year.
After the day of Arafah, the rest of the

Muslim world have a special day called
Eid-ul-Adha.

Ibrahim
Prophets were people that Allah did send.

Ibrahim was one - Allahs friend.
His father made idols out of stone
and this action he would condone.
He would sit at night and look around,

sit and think, not making a sound.
He saw the many things Allah had made.
When morning came all these would fade.
He decided all 'shirk' he would shun

and wont worship the stars, moon or sun.
Instead he would worship the creator of these
and this is the Lord that he would please.

Hajj
From Allah most high, the command came.

To build the Ka'bah, in Allahs name.
Ibrahim started and foundations were laid,
stones were collected and the walls made.
He wanted the walls to be quite high,

so the stone he stood on began to fly.
He built the Ka'bah tall and strong
and work was finished before very long.
He was then told to call people here

and from all over the world they did appear.
They came in their Millions - from every place,
from different countries and of every race.

People come from all over the world to perform Hajj.
Many people change their lives when they return home.
In Hajj, they pray a lot and make lots of dua.
A Things people ask for
when making dua.
B Good changes that are

made in some people.
C Things and places people

see at Hajj.

And proclaim amongst the people
(about observing) Hajj (pilgrimage),
they shall come to you on foot and on
every lean camel, they shall come from
every deep and distant (mountain
highway)..
Holy Quran 22:27
The command came to Prophet Ibrahim (as) to tell

the people to perform the Hajj to this noble house
(i.e. the Ka'bah). So the Hajj was started by
Ibrahim (as) which was many hundreds of years
before Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) time.
The people come from all corners of the world to

perform the Hajj. Every town and city in the world
seems to be sending Hajjis every year to Makkah.
Millions of Hajjis make pilgrimage every year.
People come to Hajj on different types of transport
such as ships, planes, buses and by walking.
INTERESTING FACTS
Muhammad (pbuh) is the last and final messenger of Allah. Muhammad (pbuh)
brought the Qur'an to us and taught us how to live our lives according to the
will of Allah.
However, we also believe and respect the thousands of prophets that came
before Muhammad (pbuh). We still love and respect Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh)
and follow the command Allah had given him to call people to Hajj.

The Hadith are the second most important source of information after
the Qur'an. They help us understand the will and command of Allah
better. The Ahadith contain the sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh).
k
be a'mazed
Abdullah went to Hajj and got lost.
Help him get back to Mina.
Mina is often called 'tent city' because when the

Hajjis go there, they stay in tents. There are millions
of Hajjis so you can imagine how many tents there
would be. They arrive in Mina on the first day of Hajj
from Makkah and spend the day there. They spend
a total of three days in Mina. It is easy to get lost in
Mina because it is so big and the tents look similar.
k Ibrahim and the
Ka'bah
Ibrahim (as) was a great prophet. Once he came to visit his son,
Ismael, in Makkah. He had not met Ismael for a while and was
longing to see him. Ismael had grown up into a young man with
his own small family. Ismael was returning home from hunting
when they both met. Ibrahim (as) and Ismael both embraced
each other and were so overjoyed.
The command was given to Ibrahim to build a house, dedicated

to the worship of Allah. Together Ibrahim and Ismael started
building this Masjid, known as the Ka'bah. They built it near the
spring of Zamzam, close to the hillocks of Safah and Marwah.
As they were building the Ka'bah, they were unable to reach the
higher parts of the wall. The stone Ibrahim was standing on
would rise up and down, allowing the wall to be built. To finish
the walls, they were needing a corner stone, but could not find
one suitable. Jibrael brought them a pure white stone from
Jannah to complete the building.
Ibrahim and Ismael completed the building and fixed the corner
stone. Ibrahim, by the command of Allah, then invited the whole
of Mankind to make the pilgrimage to this holy place.
For many years Makkah remained a city of peace and goodness.

Later, evil crept into the community and soon the people began
to put idols in and around the Ka'bah.
Ibrahim had dedicated this building to Allah, the one and only
true God of mankind. Mankind had polluted this pure truth by
putting false gods in this holiest of places.
It was only when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came did he

restore it back to its original state. However, the people have
been doing the pilgrimage to Makkah from the time of Ibrahim
until today. Billions of people have visited this holiest of places.

k The great
sacrifice
Ibrahim was a prophet of Allah. Even today he is
respected by all revealed religions of the world. There
are many great stories in his life and many lessons to
learn from this great man. There is one story in
particular which has great significance today.
Ibrahim had a dream in which he was commanded to

sacrifice his son to Allah. Ibrahim was very worried
because he loved his son so much. This dream
appeared to him a few times and he knew that this
dream was true. He was also a prophet and their
dreams are equal to revelation.
He spoke to his son Ismael who replied, Do as you

have been commanded. Ibrahim decided that he
would carry out the command to sacrifice his son, just
as he had been commanded to do in his dream.
Ibrahim set off with a heavy heart towards the place of

sacrifice. He travelled with his beloved son, Ismael, as
he made his way through the land. Suddenly, the
Shaytan appeared to him and tried to stop him from
obeying Allahs command. Shaytan tried many things
such as reminding him how much he loved his son.
The Shaytan appeared to Ibrahim three times and

each time Ibrahim chased him away by throwing small
stones at him. Finally, Ibrahim arrived at the place of
sacrifice; he blindfolded himself so that he would not
see the face of his beautiful son whom he loved dearly.

k The great
sacrifice - part 2
After the sacrifice he removed the blindfold. Ibrahim was
overjoyed when he saw his son standing there and a
sheep had been sacrificed instead. Allah had saved his
son from harm and Ibrahims sacrifice was also accepted.
The dream was a test from Allah to see if Ibrahim could
sacrifice everything for Allah. Ibrahim had passed this
difficult test.
During Hajj, the pilgrims still throw small stones at a place

called the Jamarat. They throw seven stones at each of
the three pillars, which represent the shaytan. They make
a sacrifice afterwards just as Ibrahim did. This is all part of
Hajj. In every country, Muslims make Qurabani (sacrifice)
and distribute the meat to the poor, their family and
friends. This special Qurbani is on this day of Eid ul Adha.
Many children get gifts on Eid. Draw your favourite toy.

LIFE
Allah has given human beings the gift
of life which lasts a few years. Some
have been given more, some less.
Allah has already decided how long a

person will live before he or she is born.
Everything has been recorded.
This life is a test to see if a person

behaves well and lives according to
Allah's law.
Every soul shall die and will be raised

up again on the day of Judgement. All
mankind will face this day.
Allah will ask about everything we said

and did during our life on Earth. We will
account for everything.
Heaven is the reward for all good

people. In Heaven, they will never die
and will live in blissful happiness.

l
GOOD QUALITIES
Every Muslim should have good
character. The teachings of Islam
promote kindness and good actions.
A Muslim must be honest and always

tell the truth. This is considered the
best of conduct.
A Muslim should be pious so must

follow the deen of Allah closely and
with sincerity.
A Muslim should be considerate and

should respect the feelings and rights of
other people.
A Muslim should be courageous and do

what is right. Even if he or she will
suffer personal or financial loss.
Every Muslim should study. They must

continually try to improve themselves
and use this to help others.

l
ACTIONS
All our actions take us towards Heaven
or towards Hell. This means that actions
are either good or bad.
Whenever we do anything, we should

check the reason or intention with
which we are doing it.
We only take our good and bad deeds

into the next life. Everything else
remains behind on Earth.
Once our life ends we won't get a

chance to do good deeds nor repent for
our sins. The time for this is now.
Allah will weigh our deeds to decide

who is destined for Heaven and who is
destined for Hell.
Allah will forgive the sins of some

people and will let some pass with
leniency. Allah is the Most Merciful.

al qur'an
By Al-Asr (the time),
Verily man is in loss, except those
who believe and do righteous deeds
and encourage each other to truth and
encourage each other to patience.
Holy Qur'an (surah 103)
This complete surah gives us some very valuable

advice. We sometimes forget that life is running
very quickly out and that it will come to an end.
Everyone is at a loss with the exception of those

people who have the qualities described above. To
get true benefit from your time, you must believe
in Allah (tawheed) and also do good actions. Both
belief and action go hand in hand.
These people also encourage each other to do

good by remaining on truth and by being patient.
INTERESTING FACTS
The message of the Qur'an is the most powerful words present on Earth. They
have moved and are moving people to reform their lives. It changed those that
are selfish and bad into decent and honourable people.
Millions throughout history have benefited from this guidance with more people
accepting Islam through the words of the Qur'an than any other means. The
message of the Quran is as important and powerful as it was 1400 years ago.

Help Abdullah get to the
Madrassah before his classes start.

To seek knowledge is an important part of growing

up. It is considered one of the most important
actions for an adult and child alike.
For every step a person takes towards the Masjid or
Madrassah, with the intention to learn, He is
encircled with mercy of Allah and peace descends
upon him.
l The first miracle
of Isa (as)
Maryam was a very pious and religious woman. She would
spend a lot of time in the worship of Allah and performing salah.
She was from a noble family who were descendants of the great
prophet Ibrahim through his son Ishaq.
Their family also had a great status amongst the people because
of their piety and kindness. They also looked after the masjid
where people would come and worship Allah. Everyone loved
and respected Maryam from her childhood until adulthood. They
all knew about her good character and her devotion to Allahs
deen. In fact, they had great respect for this family of Imran.
One day, Angel Jibrael appeared to Maryam and gave her good
news that Allah was going to bless her with a child. Maryam was
shocked at first because she did not have a husband. She was a
good woman who never kept company with men. The Angel
explained that whenever Allah decides on a matter, He just says
to it BE! and it is. Just as Allah created Adam (as) without a
mother or father, her son would be born without a father.
Maryam accepted the good news and was soon expecting a

child. Deep down she knew that the people would not easily
accept that the child was born miraculously - without a father.
She was a little worried. However, she was over-joyed that she
was blessed with a son who was going to be very pious and a
great servant of Allah.
When the child was born she took the child to her people. They
were very surprised to see a child in the arms of Maryam. The
people began asking many questions about the father and
Maryam knew some might not believe her that it was a miracle.
She simply pointed to the child and said he was born by the
command of Allah.

l The first miracle
of Isa (as) - 2
Baby Isa (as) then spoke from his mothers arms which
was his first miracle. He explained to the people that he
was a servant of Allah and that he had been granted a
book (injeel). He told them that Allah had made him a
prophet. Isa (as) encouraged the people to believe and
worship Allah and testify that Allah is their Lord.
The people were surprised by the baby Isa (as) talking in

Maryams arms. They were over-joyed that this miracle
happened in the family of Imran and Maryam remained
high in their esteem. They were pleased that Allah had
given Maryam such a blessed child who would be a great
prophet of Allah.
This was the first miracle of Isa (as) and Allah granted
him many miracles throughout his mission. Through these
miracles, the people believed in his prophethood and
many accepted his teachings. He was a great prophet.
However, after Isa (as) was taken away from the Earth,
the people changed the message and became confused
about Isa (as). They began believing in many things that
Isa (as) never taught and they began to stray from the
straight path. Allah then sent another mighty messenger
to teach the people about Allah Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh).
In Islam, we hold Isa (as) in the highest esteem as a

mighty servant and prophet of Allah. We do not believe
that he was the son of Allah because Allah does not have
any partners or family. Allah is unique in all respects.

MASJID
Muslims go to the masjid or mosque to
pray to Allah. All Muslims should attend
the mosque regularly.
In the mosque, we should be polite and

try not to disturb people. Some people
study and read the Quran there.
The mosque is a clean and simple place.

There are no idols or pictures in the
mosque. We dont worship idols!
We take off our shoes before we go into

the Mosque. We make wudhu before we
pray salah or read Qur'an.
The Imam leads the five daily prayers

and we pray the Fard salah behind the
Imam.
Lots of children go to the mosque to

study and learn the Qur'an from the
Imam (or teachers).

m
IN THE MASJID
The first Masjid was the Ka'bah. All the
Masjids face the Ka'bah which is our
direction of salah.
All masjids are known as the houses of

Allah and great care is taken in keeping
them clean and tidy.
The Qiblah wall is the wall at the front

of the prayer hall. When we pray we
face this wall.
The Mimbar is at the front of the

mosque. The Imam sits on the mimbar
when he is doing a talk (or beyan).
The Mehrab is on the Qiblah wall. It is

like a curved archway which reflects the
words of the Imam in Salah.
There are usually lines on the carpet so

that people can stand in a straight line
during the Salah.

m
MASJID NABWI
The Masjid-un-Nabwi is known as the
Prophet's mosque. It was built by the
Prophet (pbuh) in Madina.
The Prophet's house was next to the

masjid. When the mosque was
extended, it became part of the masjid.
The prophet was buried in his house

and that too has become part of the
masjid.
The mosque has a beautiful green dome

and tall minarets near it. Fifty thousand
people can pray there.
After Hajj, many people go to Madina

and pray forty Salah at this Mosque. It
has many times more reward there.
The people also come and give their

Salaam to the Prophet at this Masjid
but they only worship Allah.

m
JUMMAH
On Friday, we go to the mosque and
pray the Jummah salah. We pray
Jummah salah instead of the Zuhr salah.
We have a bath and wear our best

clothes on Jumma. We go to the
Mosque early. We try to smell nice.
We sit and listen to the Imam's Bayaan

and the two Khutbah. We pray two
rakats of fard salah behind the Imam.
Jummah salah is obligatory on all

Muslims except the young, very old
people, women and people that are ill.
Allah has commanded us to leave our

trading and businesses to perform the
Jummah salah. It is very important.
If a person neglects three Jummah

Salahs in a row, Allah puts a seal on his
heart.

m
MOSQUE
On returning from a journey, Rasulallah
(pbuh) would first visit the mosque
before going home.
The Prophet (pbuh) would hurry

towards the Masjid in all calamities,
even when the wind intensified.
The person whose heart is constantly

connected with the Masjid will be
shaded under the throne of Allah.
Allah remits one sin and raises our rank

for every step we take towards the
Masjid.
Allah prepares a host (food) for that

person who goes to the Masjid in the
morning and the evening.
The Prophet(pbuh) said "When you see

a person who frequently attends the
Masjid then bear witness of his faith

al qur'an
The mosques of Allah shall be visited
and maintained by those who believe
in Allah and the Last Day, establish
regular prayers, and practise regular
charity, and fear none (at all) except
Allah. It is they who are expected to be
on true guidance.
Surah Tawbah (9:18)
This ayat of the Qur'an gives us the qualities of the

people who should maintain, look after and use
the Masjid. These are also the people that Allah
has told us are on true guidance.
All upright and honest practicing Muslims should

full implement Islam in every aspect of their lives.
They should visit the masjid frequently and help
maintain it. They must maintain it by giving from
their lawful earnings and by running the affairs of
the Masjid according to Quran and Sunnah. They
must fear Allah.
INTERESTING FACTS
The Qur'an advises us on every aspect of our lives. It encourages us to run our
lives according to the guidance sent to us through the final Messenger
Muhammad (pbuh). The Qur'an is guidance and a code of life for all mankind.
History tells us that whenever people have followed this guidance they have
always been successful and both peace and justice has reigned.

m rebuilding the
Ka'bah
Our story starts back at the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) when he
was only thirty-six years old. He had not received prophethood yet and
was living a simple life with his family. However, the people had great
respect for Muhammad because he was just and fair in his dealing as well
as honest and kind.
The Kabah had originally been built by prophet Ibrahim for the worship of
Allah. That was a very long time ago and after all these years, the Kabah
needed some urgent repairs to it. There had been floods, which had
weakened the walls, and of course the years had taken its toll on the
building.
The Makkan tribes got together and agreed to rebuild the Kabah. They
would rebuild the walls and make them higher. They would also put a roof
on it and make the door much higher off the ground. This would make it
stronger and more secure against robbers.
The Makkans also decided that they would only use money that they had
earned through lawful means. This meant that any money they got from
wrong means, such as stealing and robbery, would not be used.
Before very long, the work was started and the wall was broken down to
the green cobbled foundations. When they tried to move the foundations
there was a shake and they realised that they should not go any further.
The Makkans then started to rebuild the Ka'bah with all its modifications.
The Makkans worked very hard and it came to the stage where they had
to put the Hajar-i-Aswad, the black stone, back in its place. All the tribes
wanted the honour of fitting the black stone and before long there was a
major disagreement. Each tribe began to put its case why they should be
allowed to replace the stone.
A few days dragged on and it came to the stage that the Makkans were
ready to fight amongst each other just to decide who should fit this sacred
black stone in its place. A wise man in their meeting tried to prevent the
bloodshed so he suggested that the next person who walked into the
mosque should decide amongst the tribes and they would all agree.
The Makkans were waiting for the next person to come to the Kabah.
They were very excited especially when they saw Muhammad coming
towards the Kabah.

m rebuilding the
Ka'bah - part2
When the Makkans saw Muhammad (pbuh) approaching, they began
shouting, Al-Amin is here! Al-Amin is here! They knew that he was very
just and would make the best decision.
The Makkans all presented their cases and Muhammad listened to them
all. He then asked someone to place a cloth on the ground and he placed
the black stone in the middle. He asked all the leaders of each tribe to lift
this cloth and carry it to the place where the stone was going to be fitted.
The tribes carried it to the Kabah and Muhammad (pbuh) fitted the stone
in its correct place. Every tribe was satisfied that they took part in the
honour of replacing the black stone and re-building the Kabah.
The Makkans were unable to complete the Kabah because they ran out
of money from lawful means. They left one part of the Kabah un-built
which was the Hateem. The Hateem was originally part of the Kabah but
now it remains a small semi-circular wall near the Kabah.
The first mosque for the worship of Allah was the Kabah and all other
mosques face the Kabah. When we pray, we also face the Ka'bah.

goes out of date nor is it replaced.
Anyone who claims prophethood after

Muhammad is a false prophet. Our
prophet was the seal of prophethood.
Muhammad (pbuh) was foretold in the

religious scriptures of all the other
revealed religions.

n
JIBRAEL
Angels are made from light. They were
created to obey Allah's command and
continuously serve Allah.
Angels have different jobs. Some angels

continuously praise Allah or are
engaged in some other act of worship.
Angel Jibrael is the leader of the angels

and had the job of bringing revelation
down to the Earth.
Angel Jibrael also helped the prophets

on Earth by Allah's command e.g.
Jibrael fought in the battle of Badr.
We can't see angels but they can take

the form of humans. Sometimes Jibrael
appeared to the sahabah as a man.
Jibrael has been described as having

600 wings and can be so huge that he
can fill the sky in that form.

n
PROPHETS
Adam (as) was the first person to be
created by Allah. He was also the first
prophet of Allah.
Nuh (as) preached to his people for

over 900 years but they ignored his
advice. Allah destroyed the people.
Ibrahim (as) was given the title

Khalilullah (friend of Allah). From his
offspring we have the prophets below.
Musa (as) was also a great prophet of

Allah. He freed his people from slavery
from the tyrant pharaoh.
Isa (as) was the son of Maryam and the

servant of Allah. Allah gave him the
power to heal people.
Muhammad (pbuh) was the last

messenger who was given the miracle
of the Qur'an. The guiding light for all.

prophets
Allah selected a person from every nation

And would inspire him with revelation.
These prophets would be kind and just
and in Allah they would place their trust.
They would teach people that Allah is one

who has no partners, family or son.
They would tell people to respect the old
And love the youngsters is what they told.
They would advise people to practice tawheed

because for salvation this is all they need.
They would encourage people to do whats right
and follow their message, a guiding light.

the last
Many thousands of prophets have already past

and from the prophets, Muhammad was the last.
He came with a message, both pure and true
a universal message for both me and you
Allah had taught him and purified his heart

and soon his mission in Makkah did start.
He taught his people that Allah is one
- the Almighty Lord and Creator of man.
He told them to leave idol worship behind

and the path to salvation was now defined.
He told them to follow what he had taught
the guidance from Allah that he had brought.

WAITING
We must be aware, we must watch out;

Iblis is watching and lurking about.
He is watching for his moment to attack
and from then on, he wont hang back.
The straight path he wants you to leave

and he has many plans up his sleeve.
He will lure you away with many sweet lies.
So to all his trickery, you must be wise.
Remember the words that the Quran has said

and the path of piety is the one we tread.
He will try to deceive you and lead you astray,
and from the path he will snatch you away.

Risallah is prophethood. Prophethood can be divided
into three parts. Write as much information about each
section. Ask your mums, dads or teachers for help.
A The angels who brought
the message to Earth
B The books of Allah which

guided the people
C The prophets who taught

the people about Allah.

al qur'an
And whatever the messenger gives

you, take it and whatever he forbids,
abstain from it
Holy Qur'an (59:7)
The prophets were not like normal human beings.

The advise they gave was directly from revelation.
If they advised us then we know this is from the
will of Allah. It is a requirement that we follow and
obey this guidance.
This teaches us that everything the prophet taught

was from revelation and we must follow the advise
that the prophet gave. We should prefer the
teachings of the prophet and Islam over all other
forms of guidance. We should take the prophet's
opinion in all matters of life.
INTERESTING FACTS
At the time of the Prophet, the people excelled in the Arabic language. They
would create poetic masterpieces and the poets were given a very high status
in that society.
When the Qur'an came, the people realised that this masterpiece was not the
work of a human. The Qur'an challenged them to produce a chapter like this if
they believe this was not from Allah. No one has been able to do so since then.

Are hadith more important than Qur'an?
The Qur'an is the most important form of guidance and knowledge. It

has a higher status than any other book. The Hadith are second in
importance because they contain the words and actions of the Prophet.

It is a sunnah of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to visit

someone who is ill.
It is the right of a person to be visited when he or
she is ill. We must try and fulfil this duty whenever
possible by visiting them.
Allah will reward us for this good deed.
n Adam and tricky
Iblis
Allah commanded the angels to bow down to Adam. The angels
always obeyed Allah and so they bowed down to Adam.
However, Iblis was with the angels but he was from the Jinn. Like
the angels, he was a servant of Allah but he refused to bow
down to Adam.
Iblis had pride in him and he thought to himself, Why should I

bow down to Adam when I am better than him? Iblis was made
of smokeless fire whilst Adam was made from mud. This pride
and arrogance caused Iblis to be expelled from heaven. From
that day onwards he became an enemy of Adam and all mankind.
Adam and Hawah stayed inside the garden where they enjoyed
themselves and could eat of the many fruits inside the garden.
However, Allah commanded them to stay away from one
particular tree and not to eat from the fruits on that tree.
Iblis wanted to take revenge on Adam by causing Adam to

disobey Allah. So Iblis hatched a plan where he would trick
Adam and cause him to eat from the tree. Iblis spoke to Adam
and Hawah telling them that if they ate from the tree they would
live forever. Adam and Hawah did not intend to disobey Allah but
the sweet lies of Iblis managed to persuade them to eat from the
tree.
Allah admonished Adam and Hawah by expelling them to the

Earth. They remained on Earth for a very long time. They would
ask Allah for forgiveness and finally after many years Allah
accepted their forgiveness in a place near Makkah (Jabal-I-
Rahmah).
Iblis then asked Allah for permission to remain on Earth so that

he could misguide the offspring of Adam. Allah granted Iblis this
request and Iblis, from that day, has tried his best to misguide all
mankind. Iblis wants Hell to be filled with the children of Adam.
He is always thinking of new ways he can trick humans into
being evil.
n Adam and tricky
Iblis - 2
All the prophets of Allah have warned human beings to watch out
for Iblis, who is also known as the shaytan. The prophets taught
their people that Iblis will try and trick you and take you away
from the truth. Iblis will cause you to disobey Allah just as he
tricked Adam into disobeying Allah.
The prophets taught us to be aware of Iblis and to try our best to

stay on the straight path. The prophets also taught us that if we
ever get misled and do any sin, we should ask Allah for
forgiveness and promise ourselves that we will avoid this sin in
the future.
All the prophets warned the people that shaytan is an open

enemy of humans and always be aware of his tricks. This is also
a warning to us all to be aware of the trickery of the Iblis and to
remain on the path that our Prophet (pbuh) showed us.
THIS PLACE IS WHERE ADAM AND HAWAH WERE

FORGIVEN BY ALLAH. PEOPLE HAVE CONSTRUCTED A
PILLAR AS A REMINDER OF THIS GREAT FAVOUR OF
ALLAH UPON ADAM (AS).
