Islamic Studies Grade 1

This is where the twelve-year progression begins, and the job of a first-grade book is different from every one after it: a child arriving here may be meeting formal Islamic instruction for the first time.

The material is introductory throughout — the shortest surahs, the simplest hadith, the first facts about Allah and His Messenger ﷺ, and the manners a six-year-old can actually practice.

What the Series Sets Out to Do

Schools teaching Islamic studies in English have long had to assemble a curriculum from whatever was available at each level. Darussalam produced this series to answer that need: one book per grade, built as a single progression rather than as twelve unrelated titles.

Every grade covers all areas of Islamic studies — tafseer, hadeeth, tawheed, fiqh, seerah and general etiquette — treated at the depth the age allows, so a student meets each subject repeatedly across his schooling rather than once.

Arabic Terms Are Kept

Most Islamic terms are given in the original Arabic script, with transliteration and a translation of the meaning. The same applies to supplications that have to be memorized in Arabic.

The aim is that a student can read the original text and understand it, rather than learning an English substitute for a term and never meeting the word itself. Every effort has been made to ensure the material presented is authentic.

The Rest of the Series
