Sample Answer: Muslims create and follow religious laws by looking at two main sources: the Qur'an (their holy book) and the Hadith (the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad). These sources teach them how Allah wants them to live. For example, they learn about being kind, praying regularly, and helping others. Muslim communities then follow these teachings in their daily lives because they believe it helps them live according to their faith and creates a peaceful, caring community where everyone looks after each other.

9. Choose one religious law or teaching from the lesson. Explain what it is, where it comes from, and how it helps the Muslim community.

Sample Answer (Kindness): One important teaching is to show kindness to others. This comes from both the Qur'an and the Hadith, where Prophet Muhammad taught people to be compassionate and caring. This helps the Muslim community because when everyone is kind to each other, people feel supported and loved. It means that if someone is struggling, others will help them, and this creates a strong, united community where everyone feels they belong.
