What Happens In A Mosque?

Description

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a standalone product. It is designed to be used with the What Happens In…? teaching resources provided by RE Today.

Part of the acclaimed What Happens in…? series from RE Today, this beautiful large-format print brings the world of Muslim worship to life in the classroom. The School Sign Shop is proud to partner with RE Today to make available their What Happens In…? illustrated cut-aways as high quality, large format signs — ideal for RE classrooms, collective worship spaces, religious studies groups, and any institution looking to deepen pupils’ understanding of world faiths.

A richly detailed illustration, created with the faith community

At the heart of this sign is a stunning cut-away illustration by artist Sophie Hardwicke. It depicts a mosque in active use. The artwork has been developed in collaboration with members of the Muslim faith community, ensuring authenticity, accuracy and cultural sensitivity throughout. Rich in carefully researched detail, it features a minbar, the Qiblah wall, a mihrab, a minaret, and much more — giving pupils an immersive, visually engaging window into the practice of Islamic worship and the community life of a mosque.

Sophie Hardwicke’s illustrations are a hallmark of the What Happens in…? series, striking the ideal balance between artistic quality and educational purpose. Every element is chosen to prompt discussion, curiosity, and deeper understanding.

Curriculum relevance

Islam is a core world religion within the UK RE curriculum, studied widely in both primary and secondary settings. The What Happens in…? series is trusted by schools and teachers across the country to make RE engaging, accessible, and meaningful. This sign, in conjunction with the hand-out illustration and teaching resource booklet available from the RE Teaching Resources website, supports pupils in exploring key Islamic concepts. It works equally well as a standalone classroom display or as part of a coordinated set covering all six faiths in the range.
