Asalaam u alaikum so we made a start on black Muslim history month we have made a display so far we did finger painting the African map and we done a collage of African fabric and we also made a picture of how we thought African muslims may dress we go on a web site called freecycle were people offer for free the things they no longer need i asked for some African material which one lady was happy to give me so so far what have we covered
geography maps
role play dressing up
colours with the different colours of the fabric
language we talked about what African muslims might wear
recycling
we were also lucky enough to have a great neighbour who gave us over 200 old post cards which we are using as well we found some from africa which we used in the display

Research for black Muslim history month black members of the sahaba

• Bilal ibn Ribah - while still a slave, he converted to Islam and defiantly resisted torture and persecution (for his conversion) from his pagan slave-master. He later became the first mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) in Islamic history.
• Wahshy ibn Harb- he killed Hamza, Muhammad's beloved uncle and a leading Muslim general and formidable soldier, but redeemed himself when he converted to Islam. He later killed Musaylimah, the most formidable opponent of the Muslims during the Wars of Apostasy.
• Usama ibn Zayd - loved by Muhammad almost as equal to a grandson. He was the youngest person ever to be appointed a general by Muhammad.
• Umm Ayman (Barakah) - she was around Muhammad from his birth until his death and was the closest example of a mother to him (after his own mother’s death when he was a child). She was the mother of Usama ibn Zayd.
• Al-Nahdiah - she converted to Islam while she was a slave, but refused to abandon her new faith even after being tortured and persecuted by her slave-master. She was later freed from slavery.
• Lubaynah - she converted to Islam while she was a slave, but refused to abandon her new faith even after being persecuted by her then pagan slave-master. She was later freed from slavery.
• Umm Ubays - she converted to Islam while she was a slave, but refused to abandon her new faith even after being tortured and persecuted by her pagan slave-master. She was later freed from slavery. She was the daughter of Al-Nahdiah.
• Harithah bint al-Muammil - she converted to Islam while she was a slave, but refused to abandon her new faith even after being persecuted to such a severe extent that she lost her eyesight. She was later freed from slavery. Umm Ubays was her sister.

For the sisters with older children you could take 1 or 2 of these sahaba read the biograpy then try and write a little about this companion in the childrens own word ask what they thought about this person you could even make a small lapbook about them bilal is a great one as he was the frist mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) in Islam have a look at some hadith about the  mu'adhdhin
