A faith followed around the world
Islam is followed by nearly two billion people, and this puzzle gathers its key words. You'll be finding the holy book, the QURAN, the place of worship, the MOSQUE, the holy city of MECCA, and the PROPHET MUHAMMAD, whose teachings about ALLAH are central to the faith.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the words, no two Islam word searches are the same. One round a backwards PILGRIMAGE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal CRESCENT appears across the middle.
The Five Pillars and beyond
Much of Muslim life is built around the Five Pillars, and the words are here. There's the declaration of faith, daily PRAYER (SALAH), giving to charity (ZAKAT), FASTING in the month of RAMADAN (SAWM), and the HAJJ PILGRIMAGE to the KAABA. You'll also find the MINARET and MIHRAB of the mosque, the IMAM who leads prayer, the celebration of EID, the city of MEDINA, the CRESCENT symbol, and the idea of food being HALAL — all important parts of the religion.
It's a great fit for an RE or world-religions topic. Tracking down P-I-L-G-R-I-M-A-G-E turns spelling practice into a lesson about Islam.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
