The Birth of Islam

Islam is a religion which was created by a man called Muhammad who was born in Mecca in AD 570. People who practise Islam are called Muslims.

When he was forty years old, Muhammad began hearing and sharing what he believed were messages from Allah, an Arabic word for ‘the god’.

At first, many people in Mecca did not want to believe Muhammad. The Pagan leaders believed in many gods and they made a lot of money from people who made pilgrimages to a holy monument called the Kaaba.

In AD 622, Muhammad and his followers were forced out of Mecca. They began a new community in a place that they renamed Medina.

Mecca

The Battle of Badr

In AD 624, a caravan from Mecca carrying many riches was travelling close to the village of Badr. Muhammad and his small army lay in wait, having lured them in by filling all the wells on their journey with sand so

that they would be forced to stop in Badr to see water.

The Muslims believed that many of the goods belonged to them, taken by the Meccans after the Muslims departed Mecca.

Caravan = a group of people travelling together by camel, often carrying goods to trade.

The Battle of Badr

Despite having a smaller army than the one accompanying the caravan, Muhammad won, which was seen by the Muslims as proof that Allah was

with them. After persuading many tribal leaders to convert to Islam, Muhammad marched a large army into Mecca in AD 630 and took control.

Large areas of the region were now following the Islamic faith, although Jews and Christians, having accepted Muhammad’s rule, were allowed to

continue practising their own religion.

The Caliphate

Under his rule, Muhammad established the principles of a caliphate.

A caliphate is a political-religious form of government which led the Muslim community in the lands of the Islamic civilisation. After the death of Muhammad in AD 632, Muslims struggled to agree who should be the next caliph (which means

successor of Muhammad).

They later split into the Sunni and Shia Muslims.

The First Four Caliphs

The elders actually appointed Abu Bakr as the next caliph, but Ali would also get his chance to rule in the years to come.

The first four caliphs were to be appointed after Muhammad came to represent an age of ‘pure Islam’, although the Shia Muslims accepted only Ali as a deserving leader.

•Abu Bakr: AD 632 – 634

•Umar: AD 634 – 644

•Uthman: AD 644 – 656

•Ali: AD: 656 - 661

Abu BakrAD 362 – 634

Abu Bakr was a Meccan cloth seller who was the first to convert to Islam outside Muhammad’s family. He fought in military campaigns and became Muhammad’s father-in-law when Muhammad married his daughter, Aisha.

After fighting off a revolt from tribes who didn’t feel they owed him loyalty, Abu Bakr declared jihad (the struggle against enemies of Islam) against neighbouring empires.

UmarAD 634 – 644

Umar was a successful merchant in Mecca who initially opposed Islam and was against Muhammad, until his sister converted him. He

quickly became a loyal supporter.

His armies captured and won lands in modern day Palestine, Syria and Egypt. They also captured Ctesiphon, (at the time the largest city

in the world) in Iraq.

UthmanAD 644 – 656

Uthman was a rich Quarysh merchant who made an early conversion to Islam. After his wives left him, he married one of Muhammad’s daughters.

He made raids in North Africa and built a fleet of ships to defend the Mediterranean Sea.

Uthman was assassinated after the unpopular move of appointing Umayyad relatives to government positions.

While he was in power, he organised the creation of the first official written Qur’an, replacing all other personal records.

AliAD 656 – 661

Supported by the Shia Muslims, Ali was Muhammad’s cousin as well as his son-in-law.

Ali’s leadership was challenged by Muawiyah (the governor of Syria) and Umayyad (cousin of Uthman) and also by a widow of Muhammad and two of Muhammad’s friends. Civil war broke out and the widow and the two friends were killed.

When Ali was assassinated in AD 661, Muawiyah claimed leadership.

The Abbasids

The last Umayyad caliph was killed in the Battle of Great Zab, and so began the reign of the Abbasids.

The first Abbasid caliph was Abd al-Abbas, a descendant of Muhammad’s uncle. A new age of equality was promised. Baghdad, Iraq became the

new capital city in AD 762 and non-Arab Muslims were given jobs in government and as scholars. It was the beginning of the ‘Golden Age of

Islam’ that lasted over 500 years.

What Is Shabbat?Shabbat is an exciting and important day that Jewish people look forward to all week.

For Jewish people, Saturday is a special day, just like Sunday is special to Christians.

Shabbat is the fourth commandment: ‘You shall remember to keep the Sabbath day Holy.’ Saturday was the seventh day of the week and the day that God rested after creating the world. Ever since ancient times,

Jewish people have kept the Sabbath day Holy by celebrating Shabbat.

When Is Shabbat?It happens every weekend, beginning on Friday evening, and ending Saturday evening.

On Friday, families work hard to prepare food, clean their houses and lay their dining tables ready for Shabbat.

How Is Shabbat Celebrated?When Shabbat begins on Friday evening, everyone puts on their best clothes and gather for a special meal. Other family members or friends may join the family for this special occasion.

There are lots of traditions that take place at a Shabbat meal.

Shabbat TraditionsShabbat Candles

are lit on the dinner table.

Wine (or grape juice) is shared in a Kiddush cup.

Challah bread is eaten.

Blessings are recited.

Challah BreadChallah is a special plaited loaf that is bought fresh on Friday morning, ready for the Shabbat.

The loaves are covered with a special

Challah cover, so they can’t ‘see’ the

wine when it is blessed.

Challah tastes much sweeter than normal

bread. This helps remind people that

Shabbat is special.

Two loaves are always bought

together.

Other Customs

Families enjoy talking together. Children can stay up late and tell

and listen to stories. Songs are sung.

Families will visit a Synagogue during

Shabbat.

No work can be done. Including homework!

Havdalah is the end of Shabbat. A special

plaited candle is lit and prayers are read.

Special spices are smelt and finally the

candle is put out in the wine.

Keith Haring’s style of art is well known for bold, bright colours with thick outlines and a cartoon-like style.

Died:

New YorkIn 1978, he arrived in New York where his interest in graffiti art grew while he studied at School of Visual Arts in the city.

New York was a vibrant and energetic city at this time and an exciting place to be.Haring was blown away by the graffiti art and saw blank, black areas of space on the subway where he started to make his own, signed, graffiti art.Graffiti can, of course, be vandalism when permission has not been granted and he was arrested a number of times for committing crime.

subway work is now in a museum.

and he travelled to other countries painting murals.

He painted murals in Australia, Rio De Janeiro and Paris.

He was even asked to paint part of the Berlin Wall in Germany near to

checkpoint Charlie (the gate between East and West Germany

when it was split).

Pop ShopIn 1986, Haring opened his own art shops in New York City and Tokyo selling his graffiti artwork and also some Pop Art pieces. And yes… he had covered the inside of the shop in murals!

The original shops are now closed (Tokyo closed in 1988 and the New York branch much more recently in 2005).Pop shop merchandise is still available online from the Keith Haring foundation.

He said, “The Pop Shop makes my work accessible. It’s about participation on a big level.”

ActivismDuring his lifetime, Keith Haring did a lot of work for the benefit of

children, especially those in disadvantaged areas and also work on education on HIV and Aids. He also provided the artwork for campaigns.

In 1989, he set up the Keith Haring

foundation so that after his death, this

important work could continue which it still

does today.

Have a GoKeith Haring was passionate about taking art to the people (all

people of all levels) rather than keeping it in galleries.

Why not have a go at creating your own

artwork in the style of Keith Haring?

Bold colours, cartoon people shapes, black

outlines and some movement lines.
