Use the following picture

EXPLAIN four reasons (POINTS)

why forgiveness is important to

Muslims.

One of the names for

Allah is MERCIFUL

Muslims are taught that if they realise they have done wrong and promise

not to do the same again they will be forgiven by Allah (He will show

MERCY).

On the day of judgement Allah

will show forgiveness and

mercy to....

...those who show mercy and forgiveness to

their fellow humans.

Muslims are taught that if they want to go to paradise on the Day of Judgment they must have shown mercy/forgiveness to

others.

URMuslims

recognise they are all part of the UMMAH

and so should have good

relationships with each

other.

Muhammad taught that

people should forgive and

reconcile so...

...they should follow by

example and follow his teachings.

There are many teachings in the Qur’an about forgiveness and reconciliation....

These mean...

‘If a person forgives and makes

reconciliation, his reward is due from

God’(Surah 42:40)

‘A kind word with forgiveness is better than charity followed

by injury’(Surah 2:263)

‘Live as fellow brothers and sisters,

as Allah has commended you’

(Hadith)

The Qur’an is full of passages about the forgiveness of Allah

and of his instructions that Muslims should

also forgive. It is important they follow

the will of Allah.

URFORGIVENESS ON HAJJ…

One very important way

in which Muslims follow the teachings on forgiveness

and reconciliation is

during HAJJ.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/hajj-day-two/3259.html

http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/hajj-day-three/3261.html

Watch the following

clips – pick TWO

examples from HAJJ and use them as

EXAMPLES for two of

your POINTS on why

forgiveness is important to Muslims.

Before going on Hajj

A Muslim is expected to purify themselves. As part

of this they must make peace with those they

have fallen out with and ask for forgiveness from

those they we have wronged. The IHRAM

worn are a symbol of this purity.

All Muslims wear the same to show equality and

brotherhood as part of the UMMAH (The worldwide

Muslim community).

IHRAM = a state of being sacred.

The white robes show equality and selflessness.

Mount Mercy

On the 2nd day of the pilgrimage known as the

"Day of Arafat” the

pilgrims spend the entire day standing (or

sitting) near the Mount of Mercy, asking Allah for forgiveness and

making supplications.

Stoning of the DevilWhile this ritual does signify the defiance of

the devil, Muslims keep reciting the praises of Allah and ask for forgiveness

throughout.

Grade BMost will be

able to explain the

journey of Hajj illustrates the importance of forgiveness in

Islam
