From the Publisher

GRADE 1 At this level students are introduced to Islam through the shahaadah (testimony of faith). They learn appropriate care of the Qur'aan and engage in memorization and recitation of soorahs from Soorah at-Teen to Soorah al-Humzah. The life of the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu alayhi wa sallam is introduced to them. They learn the basics of cleanliness and ablution along with the proper perfomance of prayer. The course ends with lessons on personal hygiene, respect for parents, and respect for the property of others.

About the Series

There are three different types of books for each grade:

  1. The Student's Book (two parts)
  2. The Activity Book (two parts)
  3. The teacher's manuals

 

There are five content areas:

  1. Aqeedah (Islamic Doctrine)
  2. The Glorious Quraan and its Sciences
  3. Seerah (Biography of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and Islamic History
  4. Ibaadaat (Worship)
  5. Morals and Manners

 

The material is presented using a spiral approach where students revisit each study area and study it in greater depth each year.

The student's textbook contains the subject text of the lessons, exercises, as well as activities. The activity book (workbooks), however, engages the student in additional activities on the same lessons dealt with in the student's textbook. The difference is that the activities are more analysis and synthesis based than simply recall-type activities. There is also a more practical aspect aligned to activities in the activity book.

The teacher's manual contains tips for teaching lesson, suggested pedagogical practices and solutions to exercises and activities found in the student's textbook and activity book.
