Typical Questions …

(b) Do you think religious people should stop bullies from bullying people? (4)(c) Choose one religion other than Christianity and explain why its followers are against bullying. (8)(d) ‘If everyone where religious, there would be no bullies.’ Do you agree? (6)

For all these questions, you need to know four points

about Muslim attitudes.

Since September 11th 2001, when terrorists who claimed to be

Muslim flew plains into the Twin Towers in New York and killed

thousands, there has been a BIG RISE in the bullying of Muslim students in the UK along with

ISLAMOPHOBIA in general.

Therefore many Muslim parents and organisations have tried to

encourage schools to tackle the problem of bullying and support

organisations which help victims of bullying.

The rise in ISLAMOPHOBIA …

“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoying what is right,

and forbidding what is wrong” (Surah 3:104)

A Surah is a chapter of the Qur’an. There are 114 chapters of

the Qur'an, each divided into verses.

What does this tell us about the Muslim attitude to bullying?

All Muslims are against bullying

C Question: Choose one religion other than Christianity and explain why its followers are against bullying. (8 Marks)

I will give you the Muslim teachings and you need to write these and then draw a picture to help you

This means you’ll have to really use your imagination for other ways to show these teachings.

Why Muslims are against bullyingIslam teaches that any type of violence or aggression without a just cause is wrong.

REALLY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: You are not allowed to draw Allah or Muhammad because Muslims consider this offensive.This means you’ll have to really use your imagination for other ways to show these teachings.

Muslims believe that every individual has been created by Allah and it is wrong to abuse God’s creation.

Islam teaches that Muslims should work to put an end to injustice and cruelty, which includes bullying.

Muhammad taught that people should protect and help the weak and the vulnerable, not attack them.

All Muslims believe that on the Last Day they will be judged by God n the way they have lived their lives and if they have been bullies God will not be pleased.
