The Grade 11 curriculum serves a strategic role in establishing a robust and foundational understanding of core Islamic principles. The lessons are structured across six key strands—Aqeedah, Hadith, Fiqh, History & Civilization, Islamic Culture, and Akhlaq—each meticulously designed to build a strong base of knowledge and cultivate critical thinking skills. This section provides a detailed breakdown of the curriculum, beginning with the strand that forms the very foundation of a Muslim’s identity: Aqeedah.
Strand 1: Aqeedah (Creed and Theology):
This foundational strand explores the core tenets of Islamic belief. Students will learn to define and defend the mainstream Sunni creed, understand the status of the pious, grasp the complexities of divine will, and analyze the historical origins of key deviant sects. These lessons are designed to fortify a student’s faith with knowledge and clarity. This exploration begins with defining the identity of the vast majority of Muslims throughout history: Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah.
