In Islam, the name given to God is Allah. In the first of the Five Pillars of Islam is the statement 'There is no god but Allah and Muhammed (peace be upon him) is his prophet.' Islam means submission and obedience, and Muslims are expected to live their lives in submission to Allah. This shows that for them Allah is the Supreme Being who has no equal, and they show this belief by worshipping him in every aspect of their lives. People worship in different ways. In this title we will be looking at the ways in which Muslims worship, especially through prayer, and the Mosque, the Muslim place of worship. We will discuss the Qur'an, the Muslim Holy Book, and other special writings, as well as considering what role worship and Holy Books play in Muslim life.
