Basic Beliefs of Islam

​Lesson :

Today, we are learning the basic beliefs of Islam to help us understand the history & culture of Arabia.

Remember: Religion is part of culture. When we study a religion our purpose is to teach-not preach.

This means to learn about how another culture lived, not to force anyone to believe a certain way.


You are free to have your own beliefs. Learning about other cultures is just a way to help us understand the world better.
