Sabiha Iqbal visits Oak Class
On Wednesday, Oak had a visit from Sabiha Iqbal, a Muslim chaplain from Roehampton University, as part of their RE theme of sacred places. Sabiha is one of a few female Imam’s in England as well as a chaplain, her focus is bringing people of all faiths together.
The children had prepared many questions about sacred places and objects in Islam. They found out lots of information including; how often Muslims pray; why Mecca and Medina are sacred places; the importance of Eid and Ramadan. Oak also had a
chance to share some of their history work on the early Islamic Civilisation, reading out letters they had written about the wonders of Baghdad AD900.
This was the second visitor for this RE unit to come to speak to Oak Class. A few weeks ago, Reverend Stephen came into talk about Christianity and the places that are special to him and his beliefs.
