prefaceThe preservation of the religious and moral heritage of Muslims is important as well as complex. To impart Islamic education to children and toenable them to grow as Muslims in modern society offers a great challengeto us. A fundamentally important facet in this context is Islamic didacticmaterial. It gives me pleasure to say that the book ‘MY FAITH, ISLAM’ represents a positive attempt to address this challenge.For a long time, the need has been felt for an augmentation of the currentIslamic studies programs. An innitiative was undertaken to address thisneed. The outcome is ‘MY FAITH, ISLAM’. It is a comprehensive set of textbooks on Islamic Studies embracing the full school career of Muslim children. The books have been specially graded to enable children from gradeone through to grade twelve to relate to the text in a manner that suits theirparticular academic level.This text is designed to be both practical and interesting. I hope that theusers will find the variety of topics, exercises and extracts do, in fact, fulfilthat aim. An effort has been made to present the matter in a methodical andreadable manner and all major Islamic topics pertinent to Muslim childrenhave been included. The text has been presented in lesson format and Ihave used language which is simple and a style which is appealing toyoung minds. I have attempted to narrate the facts in such a way that thereis a moral lesson for the learners in each section and through every lessonI attempt to motivate the learner to imbibe the spirit of Islam and transformit into practical living.Although care has been taken to cover aspects as thoroughly as possible,constructive and clear criticism would be appreciated to improve the material. In the preparation of these books consideration was given to the limited time teachers have in preparing lessons. However, teachers should stillmake use of any extra material they have appropriate to the standard andlesson.I do not claim this material to be the best, but it is the product of very sincere and laborious efforts. How far I have succeeded in my attempt is forthe users to judge.Books do provide a basis for education and it is the teachers who makethem really useful and meaningful. Books on their own can do no miraclefor young people unless they are properly geared to use them. I hope theIslamic teachers will remain conscious of this.Although my aim has primarily been to fascilitate the instruction of teachers and the assimilation of children I hope it will benefit parents too. I willdeem my efforts well rewarded if it inspires young Muslims to under standand practice Islam passionately.May Allah accept my humble effort and make it a source of my salvation inthe Hereafter. Amin.Mawlana Feizel ChothiaRamadan 1427 AH / October 2006 CE2my faith.ISLAMryfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhvn

Special thanks to brother Muhammad Amod who provided invaluable technical assistance in the production of this work. Their love of Faithis most heartening and inspirational indeed. May Allah, the Exalted, grantthem all the best of this world and the hereafter.I would be failing in my duty if I did not display my gratitude to my mentors,Mawlana Hasan Docrat a truly outstanding and erudite scholar of Islam,who very kindly proof-read the work.I owe a special debt of gratitude to my wife, Mu'allimah Naeema DesaiChothia, without whose assistance, support, encouragement and patiencethis work would not have been Possible.Finally, let me add that if this work stimulates a more assertive and activeinterest in Islamic faith and doctrine amongst young Muslims, I will consider the effort to have been amply rewarded.Mawlana Feizel ChothiaMawlana Feizel Chothia has devoted his life to the cause of Islam.

introductionT PThe first and most crucial obligation upon a Muslim is toacquire knowledge. This is so because correct knowledgemust come before correct action. The opposite is also true: that partial or false knowledge could, and does, lead to wrong or disastrousconduct. It is impossible for a Muslim to live according to the requirements of Islam and at the same time live in a state of ignorance andbarbarity.Our attitude, as Muslims, to knowledge is an important part of ourworldview. How well we understand and fulfil our role as humanbeings will depend on the type of knowledge we acquire, the sourceswe depend on and the ways in which we gain knowledge, and thepurposes for which we use our knowledge.Knowledge is connected in Islam with worship. The acquiring ofknowledge is worship, reading the Qur’an and pondering upon it isworship, travelling to gain knowledge is worship. The practice ofknowledge is connected with ethics and morality - with promotingvirtue and combatting vice, enjoining right and forbidding wrong.Knowledge is to be pursued and practiced with modesty and humility and leads to beauty and dignity, freedom and justice. The main purpose of acquiring knowledge is to bring us closer to Allah. It is notsimply for the gratification of the mind or the senses. It is not knowledge for its own sake or science for its own sake. Knowledge accordingly must be linked with values and goals.One of the purpose of acquiring knowledge is to gain the good of thisworld, not to destroy it through wastage, arrogance and shamelessness in the reckless pursuit of higher standards of material comfort.Another purpose of knowledge is to spread freedom and dignity, truthand justice. It is not to gain power and dominance for its own sake.The Qur’an is our most important link with reality. A Muslim musttherefore acquire a knowledge of the Qur’an and its essential guidance. A Muslim needs to have a knowledge of the Sunnah of theSacred Prophet Muhammad [s]. This is because his Sunnah is thepractical method or path for implementing Islam. The Sunnahincludes what the noble Prophet [s] said, what he did and what heagreed to. From the Qur’an and the Sunnah a Muslim needs to havea knowledge of the Shari‘ah or the Islamic Moral and Legal Systemwhich regulates man’s actions. A Muslim needs to know the purposes of the Shari‘ah and how it categorises life’s transactions, that is,what is lawful (halal) and what is unlawful (haram) and the principlesand values that govern each.Islamic knowledge is the only authentic way to come nearer and closer to the Creator. It informs us of Him, of His attributes, of how Herules over the cosmos and history, of how He relates Himself to us,and how we should relate to Him, to ourselves and to our fellowmen,and to every other being.It is also important to remember that the search for knowledge is alife-long process and does not end with the receiving of a certificate.4my faith.ISLAMryfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhvn

The word Islam is derived from the Arabic root T P‘salama’ which means, among other things, peace,purity, submission and obedience. In the religious sense theword Islam means submission to the Will of Allah and obedience to His Law. The connection between the original and thereligious meanings of the word is strong and obvious. Onlythrough submission to the Will of Allah and by obedience to HisLaw can one achieve true peace and enjoy lasting purity.Those who follow Islamic teachings are Muslims. Contrary topopular misconceptions, Islam or submission to the Will ofAllah, together with obedience to His Law, does not mean inany way loss of individual freedom or surrender to fatalism.Anyone who thinks or believes so has certainly failed to understand the true meaning of Islam and the concept of Allah inIslam. The concept of Allah in Islam describes Him as the MostMerciful and Gracious, and the Most Loving and most concerned with the well-being of man, and as Full of Wisdom andcare for His Creatures. His Will, accordingly, is a Will ofBenevolence and Goodness, and whatever Law He prescribes must be in the best interest of mankind.Submission to the good Will of Allah, therefore, does not takeaway or curtail individual freedom. On the contrary, it gives freedom of a high degree in abundant measures. It frees the mindfrom super stitions and fills it with truth. It frees the soul from sinand wrong and quickens it with goodness and purity. It frees theself from vanity and greed, from envy and tension, from fearand insecurity. It frees man from subjugation to false deities andlow desires, and unfolds before him the beautiful horizons ofgoodness and excellence.Submission to the good Will of Allah, together with obedienceto His beneficial Law, is the best safeguard of peace and harmony. It enables man to make peace between himself and hisfellow men on the one hand, and between the human community and Allah on the other. It creates harmony among theelements of Nature. Man is singled out as being endowed withintelligence and the power of making choices. When he chooses the course of submission to the Law of Allah, he will be making harmony between himself and all the other elements ofNature, which are by necessity obedient to Allah. He will beconsistent with the truth and in harmony with all the other elements of the universe. But if he chooses disobedience he willdeviate from the Right Path and will be inconsistent. Besides,he will incur the displeasure and punishment of the Law-Giver.8my faith.ISLAMryfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhvn

They weretrapped. “Help!” they shouted,“Somebody please help us!” Butthere was no one to hear their criesfor help.One of the men then said, “The onlyway for us to be saved is to pray toAllah, for Allah always hears theprayers of those who call on Him,even if they be trapped deep insidea huge mountain. Allah alwaysanswers the prayers of those whobelieve and do good.”Thereupon the man began to pray,saying, “O Allah!

So, withthe cup in my hand, I awaited thereby their bedside the whole nightlong, hoping that they would wakeup and I could then give them something to eat and drink.
