Lesson

Begin by revising what was taught about the practice of Islamic prayer in the previous lesson.

What is the purpose of prayer for Muslims? (Submission to God - Islam)

Muslims submit to God in other ways. Inform children about Ramadan. Remember to stress that this is not punishing oneself, but exercising discipline. Have the children had experiences of going without food or restricting what they eat? Talk/write about these. What was the purpose?

Would the children like to organize/ take part in a sponsored fast? If there is a favourable re-action, agree on the specifics.
