The highlighter method should be used alongside:
Creating mind maps
Creating flash cards

Use the following 6 steps to highlight the key points in this text:
Decide on the information you would like to include in your mind map.
Underline 5 – 10 important key words from the information and place this onto your mind map.
Choose 3 – 5 words to describe your key words in detail.
You are now ready to create mind maps or flash cards.
The Five pillars of Islam
The five pillars of Islam give strength and structure to the Islamic faith.
The first pillar is called Shahadah. The is the statement of faith which is said every. This is important because it reminds Muslims of their faith in God.
The second pillar is salah (prayer). Muslims must pray five times per day. Muslims pray five times because this is a command from God and was carried out by Prophet Muhammad. Praying helps Muslims to be closer to God.
Another pillar is called Sawm. This is when Muslims fast and go without food during the month of Ramadan. Muslims fast to show empathy towards the poor and become closer to God.
Another pillar of Islam is Zakah (charity). It is the duty of every Muslim to give 2.5% of their earnings to charity.
The fifth pillar of Islam is called hajj. This is the pilgrimage (holy journey) made by Muslims to Makkah in Saudi Arabia. Muslims must make this journey at least once in their lives.
