Couese Description: This grade 10 Islamic Studies course will enable the students to study the Qur’an so as to know the fundamental teachings of Islam. The goal is to use the Qur’an and Sunnah as the primary resources to help students develop a keen sense of righteousness and justice in terms of their personal moral development. Using this primary resource, students will examine the individual as a social being with responsibilities to the creator, to the family and to the community. By emphasizing rational thinking and employing research and analytical skills, students will be encouraged to arrive at conclusions that help them better comprehend Islam as a total way of life. This will include an understanding of:
- The message of the Quran and its interpretation. (Tafseer)
- The concept of Allah, His oneness, attributes and our relationship to Him. (Tawheed, Fiqh and Supplications.)
- The Quranic laws, duties and principles, which the Prophet exemplified in his life as essentials for Righteous living. (Quranic injunctions, Seerah of the Prophet including Hadith and Sunnah.)
- Muslim responsibility and contribution to the broader community. (Study and critique of important Muslim scholars; distinguish practices that are Islamic or cultural; show the accommodation of Islamic value system within the communities we live.)
