Islamic Studies Programme

---

This Islamic Studies Programme is designed for learners across different stages of development to build a strong, balanced, and practical understanding of Islam. The programme combines essential knowledge, spiritual development, and real-life application to help students grow in faith, character, and confidence in practising Islam.

The curriculum is structured progressively and includes:

- Foundational Islamic beliefs and practice

- Prophetic history and the lives of the Ṣaḥābah

- Worship and practical rulings (Fiqh)

- Personal development and Islamic character

- Understanding contemporary Muslim life

Lessons are delivered through engaging teaching methods including storytelling, discussion, reflection, and practical application.

Years 2 and 3 provide a deeper and more advanced study of Islām, expanding students’ understanding of theology, worship, history, spirituality, and contemporary issues. The programme aims to develop well-rounded Muslims who understand their faith intellectually, spiritually, and practically.
