Following a Faith: A Muslim Life Summary

Following a Faith: A Muslim Life by Cath Senker

The faith you follow is with you from the moment you are born, until the moment you die and beyond. Following a Faith: A Muslim Life explores some of the cornerstones of what it means to be a Muslim today, through Id-ul-Fitr and Id-ul-Adha celebrations, wedding ceremonies, what happens in a mosque and why many Muslims go on a pilgrimage known as Hajj.

This book supports the national curriculum guidelines for religious education for children aged 8+, and promotes religious tolerance and consideration.

Following a Faith looks at the rich, cultural and colourful traditions, events, rituals, celebrations, foods, buildings, clothing and more that make up a major religion. Beautiful, bright, bold and modern - these books bring religious non-fiction right up to date and make them relevant and essential reading for followers of a faith and for anyone interested to learn what a religion is all about.

In our multi-cultural society, children need to understand the faiths of others; this is also a fundamental part of the RE curriculum ... This book is one in an appealing and informative series with a bright, bold and modern approach. Ideal to help children understand the key tenets of Islam and what it means to follow that faith in daily life. * Parents In Touch *
