Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we did a section of the readings, the questions will be due the same day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available the next day to start the class period (unless there were other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.

Origins and Beliefs of Islam

Today, Islam is the world’s second-most widely practiced faith, after Christianity. It emerged in the 600s in one of the harshest climate regions in the world.

If you were visiting any Muslim city in the world, you would likely wake up at dawn hearing the call to prayer chanted from one of the city’s houses of worship. In Arabic, you would hear “God is great. I bear witness that there is no God but God. I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God. Come to worship.” This call contains the most important beliefs of Islam—belief in one all-powerful God, and belief that Muhammad was God’s final messenger to human beings.
