During lock down people who follow Islam celebrated the end of their holy month of Ramadam. Usually people join in a closing prayer together but social distancing because of coronavirus made this impossible in 2020. Kadir Terzi, the chairman of Wetzlar Mosque in Frankfurt, Germany, had an idea. He asked the local Ikea store if they would allow their car park to be used for the closing prayer. Kadir thought Ikea would say no, but they immediately said yes – they opened up their car park for the prayer. This meant 800 Muslims were able to pray together while keeping safe. Lots of people commented on social media. A journalist from Canada said, “Wow.This is the love and kindness the world needs now. Eid Mubarak to all celebrating.” Another wrote, “A true sign of hope in these difficult times.” Another wrote, “This is what finding solutions together and staying by each other through this crisis can look like!”
- What is Eid? - Why do people pray together?
-Why couldn’t everyone just pray in their home?
- Why do you think Kadir thought Ikea would say no?
- Why do you think Ikea said yes?
- “the love and kindness the world needs now” why does the world need love and kindness now?
- “finding solutions together and staying by each other” what does this mean?
- What can we learn from Kadir? - What can we learn from Ikea?
- Why is this about No Outsiders?
