Moral values deliven from a religious practices are: tolerance,love,sharing,caring,respect,forgiveness,reconciling and unity to name just a few.
Bahã'í is the youngest of world's independent religions. This faith is not a sect of Islam ,but a Bãbí religion ,a faith group in Persia (Iran)that broke away from the height beliefs in more religious expectations of around 1844 which include the coming of Messiah and it was a branch of Shí'tes. Its name comes from the faith Bahã' Ullãh which means glory of God. A Bahã'í is a follower of Bahã' Ullãh who lived between 1817 and 1892 and the most recent in the line of messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded times of human history starting from Adam. He(Bahã' Ullãh) wrote the scared scriptural book known as 'al-Kitãb al-Aqdas' which developed the Bahã'í faith doctrines into a comprehensive teaching.
The central theme of Bahã'í faith regards humanity as one regardless of race or ethnic background and that the day has come for its unification into one global society.The faith of Bahã' Ullãh is represented in every country on Earth. Bahã'ís are people who formery had different religions and who are united by Bahã'í faith.
Through a common devotion ,different economic status and social backgrounds ,the Bahã'í fulfilled their previous religious needs and expectations. The rich and poor mingle or mixes as equals and work together to establish a new order.
There are people of different nationals and different racial backgrounds. However Bahã'í faith has given them a new loyalty . The loyalty to humanity ,Bahã'í have no racial segregation because they believe that all man are equal before God.
Bahã'í recognise that there is only one God even though many had called him by different names.God had revealed his word throughout history by sending devine messengers who were restated in every age ,that's from Abraham ,Moses ,Zoroaster,Krishna,the Buddha,Jesus,Muhammad and Bahã' Ullãh.These messengers were provided to guide mankind through an evolutionary process in which Bãb initiated a new age for mankind. And final messege by Bahã'í is the fullest revelation of God's will and that is the major God-given instrument which help the world to unite. According to this faith God's revelation through a man is by means of 'Divine Manifestations'
The basic fundamental precepts of Bahã'í is the recognitions of other religions as devine origin and their principles are in complete harmony. Their differences are of no significance in its missions to mankind.
The historical background of this faith dates back in Persia (Iran) in 1844 when a young merchant called the Bãb announced that he was a messenger of God whose special mission was to prepare the people for the coming of the one spoken of in the holy books. The one who would unite the world as one under one shepherd.
Bãb 's faith spread so rapidly due to their mission and experienced massive growth in the early days of its inception that clergy and government were alarmed by nearly
5 000 000 believers worldwide,although adult converts were estimated around
2 300 000. And the consequences were bitter persecution also.This necessitated about 20 000 of the followers to put to death and Bãb himself imprisoned and martyred in 1850.
After Bahã' Ullãh's death ,he was succeeded by his son 'Abd ol -Bahã' resulted in the succession only within the progeny family until the great-grandson Shoghi Effendi Rabbãní who was elected in 1963 by the governing body known as the 'Universal House of Justice.'

MULTI-FAITH APPROACH HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ISLAM RELIGION!
With the advent of massive migration and global interaction pupils are easily make relationships with those from Islam world.
Islam is a religion of 1 in 5 of the world population making it one of the largest religion like christians and catholics combined in their numbers. It is the fastest growing major religion with some powerful states like Iran,Algeria,Lybia,United States Emirates,Pakistan,Indonesia and so on are regarded as Islamic states. Even in other christian dominant states like USA,Britain,France, Zimbabwe etc islamic mosques are also found and on Friday most of their business closed at noon to go to the mosques.So it is necessary for multi-faith approach to be adopted in the teaching of religious and moral education in the primary schools to promote tolerance and peace among other morals of mutual depth in learning world religions .For the benefit of the student and substantive teacher they must have a knowledge of the Muslims which started to held its world stage dominance in religious practice around 700 AD.
Islam means submission ,'surrender' or 'commitment' to Allah which expresses the innermost attitude of hearkened to the preaching of Mohammed. Muslim refers to one who makes or does Islam.
Like the the concerns of Buddha about the beliefs of Hindu in many gods, the founder of Islam Muhammad questioned the religious practices of his day. He was born in Mecca Saudi Arabia about 570 AD, or between 560-632 AD.His father , Abd Allãh died before Muhammad's birth and his mother Aminah died when he was six years old.
During that time Arabs worship many gods for instance Sun God,Moon God and other natural things like rocks mountains ,pools etc that was centred in the Mecca valley at the scared site of Ka'bah a simple cubelike building where black meteriote was revered.
Ka'bah was believed in Islam world to be originally built by Adam and was latter re-built by his grand-grandsons Abraham and Ishmael. It become a santuary for the 360 idols ,with each representing a day of their lunar year.
The Prophet Muhammad was worried of the religious practices and vowed interests of religion and honour among the Quraysh chiefs his tribe. He was dissatisfied with primitive survivals in Arabian religion , the idolatrous polytheism and animism , which ,Qur'ãn surah 6:137 states, the immortality of religious convocations and fairs the drinking ,gambling and dancing that were fashionable and the burial alive of unwanted infant daughters practiced all over Arabia. Surah are chapters of their holy book ,Qur'ãn or Koran.
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him as populary known in the Islam world was called to be a prophet when he was about 40 years old nearby mountain cave called Ghãr Hirã' where he received revelations from Allah through the Angel Gabriel in the form of visions ,from then on he was convinced that there is only one God 'Allah' and he is the last prophets of Allah for Jesus was one of the prophets , not son of God as reviewed by some Christian counterparts. Jesus in Islam believed that he was a messenger of God who came through the virgin Marry. To them isn't God nor part of the trinity ,but only differs from other prophets in his milaculous works and wasn't crucified and didn't die a natural death.He was taken upto heaven and will return to Earth again towards the day of judgement . Muslims have a high view of Jesus .but equating him to Allah is a blasphemy.
Muslim acknowledges different scared scriptures which include the Torah of Moses,Psalms of David,Gospels of Jesus and the Qur'ãn. The Qur'ãn is Allah's most recent and final word which divided into three categories: (1)Holy Qur'ãn been revealed to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel in its words and meanings are viewed in inspired Arabic.
(2)Hadíth or sunnah deeds of utterance and silent approval of the prophet .A hadíth records actions or sayings of the prophet Muhammad's companons and the successors. The meaning is viewed as inspired in Islam.
(3) Sharí'ah law based on the principles of the Quar'ãn regulates the entire life in the religious ,political and social scene.The acts of man categorised in:
•What is considered absolute duty(fard) thus rewards for acting or punishment for failing to act.
•Commendable or meritorious actions (mustahabb) involving rewards without punishment for omission.
•Permissible actions(jã'iz, mubãh)is legally indifferent.
•Reprehensible actions (makrűh)disapproves but not punishes.
•Forbidden actions(harãm)which calls for punishment.

HINDUS' BELIEFS IN CYCLIC LIFE AND THE HOLY RIVER GANGES
The belief in the cyclic nature of life is that the course of the universe's true time is cyclical ,that's every event has occurred before will occur again in future. This is why Hindus respect animals because these animals may be people who come back to life.Sacrifice is done for purpose not for the sake of killing for religion.
Mohandas Gandhi(1869-1948) also populary known as 'Mahatma' is one of the modern philosophers who civilised Hinduism in which respect of animals was priortised such as cows ,snakes and monkeys. Hindus strictly respect life. Mahatma claimed non violence (ahimsa) as the fundemental moral value and concerned with dignity and well-being of every person. To him anything contrary to ahimsa is not a Hindu holy scripture. He also the brainchild of womenisation in all social and economical spheres of life.Mahatma was deeply concerned if Hinduism failed and he also loved other major world religions Christianity and Islam ,but through Hinduism.
The caste system divided the society into four rigid classes called castes or varnas which means colour.According to Hindu mythology the origin of four major castes are based in the body parts of Purusha and mankind's original father-figure.
Marriage and ford laws are linked to these caste groupings. Hindu literature called the code of the social classes are divinely ordained. Brahman created the brahmans by Kshatriyas,Vaishyas ,Rajanya and Shudras from his face arms ,thighs and feets .
Aryan societies develop categories called 'Vamas'. The top class which is called the Brahmans of priest ,teachers in the second class of chiefs police ,third class are trader and farmers. And the Shudra are the fourth class members of the society who believe in many gods.
Hinduism's pantheon of gods and its mythology is directly related to the sacred river Ganges or Ganga Ma(mother Ganga).The river is closely associated with their daily survival and is believed to formery existed in the heavens as milky way. Most Hindus believed that Maharajah Sagara had 60 000 sons who were killed by the fire of Kapila a manifestation of Vishnu. This necessitated the goddess Ganga to come down from heaven to cleanse the condemned souls in hell and release them from their curse. Sagara's great grandson Bhagiratha interceded with Brahman to allow the sacred Ganga to relocate on Earth. The god Shiva was persuaded by Bhagiratha to stand high above the Earth's amidst of rocks and ice in the Himalayas.Shiva allowed the Ganga to thunder down from the skies in to rocks of Himalayas across the plains flowing water of life to the dry Earth.
Although Vishnu's believers argued that the river Ganges started on the region of holy seat of Vishnu and proceeds to remove all sins.The Hindus has the firm belief that the river Ganges has the holy power to release ,purify ,cleanse and cure believers and they are finally liberated.
The Hindus flock to this holy rivers worshipping(Puja)by offering flowers ,chanting prayers and receiving from priests the tilak on the forehead.Then they bathe the waters or drink it ,despite being polluted by sewarage,chemical and cadavers. The power of their belief in the spiritual attraction of the river Ganges which motivate them to bathe atleast once in their lifetime in this holy river.
Some bring the dead bodies of their loved ones to be burned on pyres by the riverside and ashes sprinkled in the river.This guarantees eternal bliss for the departed soul and the poor who are incapacited to pay for pyre ,they just shroud the body off into the river ,where it can be eaten by scavenger birds or just decomposes in the water.

MULTI-FAITH APPROACH OF MORAL EDUCATION: HINDUISM RELIGION !
Adoption of multi-faith primary religious moral education of different world religions in most educational curricular help children to learn other major religions and develop valuable moral values derived by this different religions in general.
Hinduism is the religion originated in India and its roots traced back for over 3 500 years ago. Due to migration of the pale -skinned Aryan race who relocated in Indus valley an area which covers parts of India and Pakistan.Hindu a name derived from Indus valley, is mingled of Aryan Indian culture and has a single founder with no specific doctrine or belief held supreme.Hinduism means a host of religions and sects (samapradayas)which appeared and flourished for thousands years ago under the complex of ancient Hindu mythology. Prominent India writer Parthasarathy explains,The Hindus are not polytheistic .Hinduism speaks of one God 'Brahman', but the different gods and goddesses of the Hindu pantheon are really representatives of the powers and functions of the one supreme God in the manifested world. No specific scriptures is regarded as authorative and no moral code emphasis is more on the way of living than on the way of thoughts.
Although Hinduism has holy writings the oldest Vedas a collection of prayers and hymns known as the Rig-veda,the sama-veda ,the Yajur-veda and the Atharva-veda. These are some of the oldest written scared scriptures like the books of Torah written by the prophet Moses. The Vedas were supplemented later by Brahmanas and the Upanishads scared writings.
Brahmanas specialised with ritual and secrifices on domestic and public scenes and also go deeper on how are they performed both in meaning and purpose.
Whilst the Upanishads deals with the the set reason for thought and action in the Hindu's religious faith and are also known as the vendanta.Transmigration of soul(Samsara) and the belief in the deeds of the former existence are the cause of one's present state in life (Karma) were part of the scared writings.
The other set of writings found in the Hindu library include the Puranas which are books of stories ,myths of gods and goddesses and Heroes of Hindu. In this extensive Hindu library a collection of epics of the Ramayana and Mahabharata are also found.
The hero Rama or Ramachandra a story in Hindu viewed as a model son ,brother and husband. His name invoked greeting was the seventh avatar(incarnation of the Vishnu.
Mahabharata is the supreme instruction of morality and the last instruction of Gítã is the final word of motality and religion : Surrender unto Krishna.
The Celestal song of Hindu spiritual wisdom is a conflict of conversation between Krishana and supreme personality of Godhead and Arjuna known as 'Bhagavad Gita instructs the science of self-realization. Bhagavita Gita is the extensive holy library of the Hindu ,whilst the Vedas ,Brahmanas and the Upanishads are Scruti or 'heard which considered only as scared writ.
Other writings composed by human authors from revelation such as the epics and the Puranas are Smriti or 'remembered' contains sets of Hindu religious,outline the caste system and social law.
Hindus' faith 'sanatana dharma' which means eternal law or order.They believe in 'Samsara and Reincarnation which means there is death and re-birth. The fortunes of the soul in each re-birth are determined by its behaviour in the former lives. The principle of 'Karma' literally means every action has its positive or negative consequences for the next life of the transmigrated soul. Deeds or actions may be sins which ever goes unpunished and no venture remains unrewarded. What it means is that ,if somebody didn't reserve punishment or reward in life shall be re-birth at a higher or lower level. Dharma is the law which determines the rightness or wrongness of the acts. Re-birth which is judged by dharma is not necessarily in the form of human form. A man should be loyal to his class and shouldn't covert other people's classes.
