Try to guess where these mosques are:  a) b) c) d) e) f) g)

The adhān is the Islamic call to worship, recited by the muezzin (almuédano, muecín) at prescribed times of the day.  Adhan is called out by a muezzin from the mosque five times a day, traditionally from the minaret. You can watch and listen in this video the nice call to prayer from the Blue Mosque in Istanbul:   In this other video Rick Steves gives us information about the Blue Mosque:

Hajj or Pilgrimage is one of the five main pillars of Islam. Once a year, Muslims of every ethnic group, colour, social status, and culture gather together in Mecca and stand before the Kaaba praising Allah together. It is the journey that every sane adult Muslim must undertake at least once in their lives if they can afford it and are physically able. The Hajjis or pilgrims wear simple white clothes called Ihram, to show that everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah. Mecca is a place that is holy to all Muslims. It is so holy that no non-Muslim is allowed to enter.  

DRAWING TOOLS

Human beings are used to living under laws that are dictated to us by society, we have rights and responsibilities.  One important aspect for being a good citizen is to help people. Remember  that little actions make the difference. Another important thing we have to remember for being a good citizen is to have an active participation in our community. The last recommendation for being a good citizen is the respect toward the people that live around us. We have to remember that as we have rights, they have them too. 

We are going to try our first easy activity: a)Who is this woman? b)Who was her husband? c)Why was he important? d)Where can you find this mosaic? e)Do you know any building that her husband ordered to build?
