Important Note Regarding This Worksheet:
|
A user of the site made a very interesting comment about this resource: 'I was looking at the RE resource (the worksheet). It's very good, but I noticed that at the bottom there was arabic writing which mentions God (Allah) in it. Muslims believe that arabic texts with Gods name should not be treated with disrespect or disposed via the dustbin, but rather burnt or thrown into a clean stream.
My concern was if all children were given this worksheet then the arabic script would be most probably be thrown in the bin (being disrespectful)...maybe it would be better not to have the script present but maybe some other type of Islamic pattern...just a suggestion. :)'
This
illustrates some of the issues that can come up when teaching
about the religious beliefs. I would advise either replacing
the script at the bottom of the sheet before duplication or
alternatively using the worksheet 'as is' but using it as an
tool to discuss these beliefs and talk about how the sheets
will be disposed of.
