Lesson 1
WE LOVE OUR PROPHET

We are Muslims. Our religion is Islam.

We believe that there is no god but Allah. Muhammad means Allah’s messenger. Allah sent many messengers and prophets to earth. We believe in all of them. Muhammad Rasulullah is Allah’s last prophet. He is our prophet. We are Rasulullah’s Ummah. Ummah means people or nation.

When we hear Rasulullah’s name, we should say, “Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam.” That means, “May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him.”

We write an (S) after Rasulullah’s name. That means, “Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam.” This reminds us to ask Allah to bless his prophet. Allah and His angels bless us when we ask Allah to bless Rasulullah (S).

Rasulullah brought us the Quran. The Quran is Allah’s last message to all the people of the world.

We love Rasulullah (S). He is our prophet. He is Allah’s last prophet. He was good and kind to everyone. He taught us to do what is good and taught us not to what is bad.

We should try to obey Rasulullah (S). When we obey him, we are obeying Allah. Then Allah will be pleased with us. He will take care of us in this world & he will reward us in our next life.

We have learned:
•	When we hear Rasulullah’s name, we should say: “Salla allahu alaihi wa sallam.”
•	We should love our prophet, Muhammad Rasulullah (S).
•	We should obey our prophet, Muhammad Rasulullah (S).
