Zakat is the money a Muslim pays to those in need.
Zakat means purification. Zakat allows a Muslim to make his or her money pure by giving some of it to those in need.
Zakat is paid once a year. Muslims
who have extra money must pay
zakat.
Extra money is the money which a
Muslim saves for one whole year
without needing it.
Zakat is fardh upon all Muslims who
have extra, unused money. Unlike
charity, which one can give to the
poor to increase his good deeds
(hasanat), zakat is an obligatory
(must) duty for Muslims.

The pagans of Mecca broke their
promise to Muslims and allowed one of
their allies to attack a Muslim tribe.
The Prophet told Muslims that they
have every right to fight those who
attacked them, so an army of Muslims
marched onto Mecca.
Muslim troops entered Mecca without a
war because the pagans of Mecca knew
that they cannot win.
Allah gave victory to the Prophet
and Muslims.
Islam spread very fast in all directions
after Muslims conquered the pagans of
Mecca.

This is a game! The class should split into two competing teams.
The teacher or any other moderator will ask questions from the list below.
Each team is asked one question at a time and is given one minute to
answer. Each team can discuss amongst themselves to come up with an
answer. For each correct answer the team gets one point, for each
incorrect answer the team loses one point. If a question is not answered
by one team, the other team will get a chance to answer the question, they
can gain one point, but if the second team answers incorrectly they do not
lose a point, and they still have their own turn to be asked a question.
One of the teams is chosen at random to start the game, and then
questions alternate between the two teams.
