Year 10 Mosque Trip

On 23rd February, Year 10 visited the Masjid E Saliheen Preston Muslim Cultural Centre as part of their drop-down day. Students walked to the Mosque where they were greeted by the Imam. Year 10 were shown around the Mosque and given a demonstration on how to perform ablution (ritual washing before prayer). Students then listened to multiple talks by men and women from the Mosque on topics including prayer and Ramadan.

Once students returned to school, they spent the rest of the morning making a mini Mosque model and annotated the Mosque with information they had learnt whilst at the Mosque.

“I really enjoyed learning about the features of the Mosque, such as the Minaret. This helped me complete my mini Mosque model. I also enjoyed looking at the architecture and repeated patterns in the Mosque such as on the carpet.”

“The Mosque trip was really interesting and cool. It felt really calm and like you could feel God with you. I liked the glass, marble stairs, rugs and white walls with Arabic quotes written on them. We all wore headscarves and were shown how Muslims wash before prayer. We watched the Imam pray and we learnt about Ramadan. A fun fact I learnt is that the Quran is read from right to left rather than left to right.”
