We had the opportunity to visit Telford Central Mosque to tie in with our RE unit last term. The Imam welcomed us and explained some of the key principles of prayer as a Muslim. We went into the main prayer space and found out how often Muslims pray, where they face and why the building is build the way it is. We all found the experience very useful and learnt lots!
Euan: “I found out that Muslims face Meccah when they pray. For us in England, it is South-East.”
Emilee: “I liked that the walls were fairly plain as it meant people won’t get distracted when they pray.”
LaShanda: “I liked finding out about what times Muslims pray and how it changes over the year.”
