This lesson explores more deeply one of the five pillars discussed in the last lesson: prayer or salah. Islamic prayer takes place five times a day, each time taking about ten minutes. These compulsory prayers help Muslims keep God at the front of their thoughts and keep them from doing bad deeds. Other prayers also take place at any time and these are called du’a and are often more personal prayers. The thinking skills strategy of fact or opinion will be used in this lesson. This strategy is used when material is controversial, such as the idea of a religious belief. It encourages people to think about what is a fact, a belief or an opinion. Learning objective Learning about: • To understand the importance of regular prayer in a Muslim’s life; and to understand the beliefs that teach the importance of regular prayer.

Success criteria Learning about: • Pupils will be able to explain the importance of prayer in the life of a Muslim and discuss how prayer improves the life of a Muslim. Learning from: • Pupils will have considered facts and opinions about prayers and be able to express their own views about how different people might categorise beliefs.

This unit addresses the topic of marriage in a way that is appropriate for Key Stage 2 pupils. It begins by looking in general terms at the idea of love and relationships, then goes on to explore how some of the major religions allow believers to make a lifelong commitment to their partner and how God’s blessing on this is represented in a marriage ceremony. Non-religious commitment is also discussed and addressed. The individual circumstances of anyone in your class for whom this is a sensitive topic should be considered and discussed with their carers if appropriate.
