That is how Muslims greet each other when they meet.
Heron Pack were the guests of the Stevenage Muslim Community Centre. The Cubs learned about what goes on in the Mosque.
We learned that Muslims always face Makkah in Saudi Arabia when they pray, and this direction is called "Qiblah". There is a special part of the Mosque called "Mihrab" which is built into the wall to show which direction this is.
As always, we were made very welcome, and after our tour of the Mosque, we were provided with crisps and drinks.
