The Diary Game: It was launching Day of the tournament at our local community stadium with the presence of the Cup Donor, Spectators and Professional Referees from Fecafoot/ My Day at the Islamic School
I started off my day with very high hopes of wanting to watch the opening game of this tournament which was to begin at 1:00pm. But first I had to begin my day normally with some house chores as usual then after that I did my early morning Islamic prayer. Before I could go to the field at 1:00, I had to go for classes at my new Islamic School. I Decided to become a Muslim lately because I admire so much in the Islamic Culture. Such as their love for one another, true to their fate, thanksgiving and also give out gifts and donations on special occasions.
From what I learned today, Muslims have
Muslims have 5 prayers known as:
- The Fajr Salat. Carried out at Dawn that is; an early morning prayer.
- The Zuhr Salat. Carried out at noon.
- The Asr Salat. After noon prayer.
- The Maghrib Salat. Carried out After sunset.
- The Ishaa Salat. The evening prayer. Starts about one and a half hour after sunset, till the middle of the night.
And also have 5 pillars of Islam;
- Testimony of Faith (shahada) one must profess this testimony of faith with all his heart .
- Formal Prayers (Salah).The greatest act of worship in Islam.
- Compulsory Charity (Zakah)
- Fasting (sawm). Muslims must fast for a period of one Lunar Month which is the month of Ramadan.
- Pilgrimage.(Hajj). Pilgrimage to the house of God ,the kabah in Mecca is obligatory for every able Muslim once in a lifetime.
That was it for my lessons today was really exciting I was shown round the mosque and learned so much.
After my lessons it was time to head to the field fir the match that was to begin at 1:00.
The games were played in grande style and Every team was asked to bring just 3 players outside the quarter.The committee's primary aim for doing so is because they want to promote football in the community and also enable every youth who is capable of playing to at least partake.
Our team is the youngest Academy in the tournament and that's an advantage for us because most and if not all eyes will be on us. Everyone will expect to see us perform well and showcase our various individual talents our first game is on Thursday the 18th and I'll be looking forward to give you'll updates by then.
