Given the dire need for English Islamic studies material in schools, Darussalam has endeavored to publish an Islamic Studies series covering all grades from grades 1 through 12. This series covers all areas of Islamic studies: tafsir, ahaddith, tawheed, fiqh, sirah, and general etiquette relating to different areas and situations. Given the importance of Islamic knowledge, every effort has been made to ensure that the material presented in the series is authentic. Also, given the importance of Arabic Islamic terms, most are presented in their original Arabic script, transliteration, and translation. This also applies to supplications which must be memorized in their Arabic version. The aim is to help the students read the original text and understand its meaning. Each lesson is followed by exercises with questions about the lesson.
One striking feature of this series is the use of colorful artwork. It is appealing to students and teachers. This is certainly bound to attract young readers’ attention, stimulate them, amuse them, and most importantly to educate them.
This series aims to acquaint the student with the teachings of Islam in every aspect: beliefs, practices, and moral conduct. Its unique features fill a gap in the area of English Islamic curriculums, which has long been neglected.
The present breathtaking work was initiated by an expert in the field of education, Molvi Abdul Aziz, who held different posts in the field, including that of senior administrative officer in the Department of Private Education, Ministry of Education, Dubai from 1982 to 2002.
