7. Dale Muhammad is the most important man in Islam. Muhammad was a prophet. A prophet is a special religious messenger. He started the religion of Islam.

9. AMY The top of the tower is called a minaret. The muezzin calls people to prayer from here. The roof is the shape of a dome.

10. Dale Ramadan is the month of fasting. Muslims don’t eat for a month when the sun shines. They can eat when it is dark. It is a time of worship. Ramadan ends when the new moon comes up.

11. Steven Muslims celebrate Eid Ul Fitr at the end of Ramadan. They have a big party and they get new clothes. They give money to the poor. Special cards which say Eid Mubarak are given which means Joyful Festival.

12. What I liked learning about Islam Amy – It was good because of the cake that we saw on the video. Muslims eat cake to celebrate Eid Ul Fitr. Steven- It was fun to learn more about Islam. I liked to learn about the mosques. Dale – It was brilliant to learn more about Ramadan and Eid because I didn’t know what they were before.
