Safar Islamic Studies - Level 1 (Textbook + Workbook)

Build Strong Islamic Foundations with the Safar Islamic Studies Level 1 Curriculum

Safar Islamic Studies Level 1 is the starting point of Safar Publications' comprehensive Learn About Islam series for primary-aged learners. Carefully developed for children aged approximately 5–6 years, this first level introduces the essential teachings of Islam through engaging, age-appropriate lessons that nurture both knowledge and character.

Designed as part of Safar's wider educational ecosystem, the curriculum combines structured textbooks, interactive workbooks, teacher resources, and digital learning tools into a connected learning experience. Each level builds naturally upon the previous one, allowing children to develop a confident Islamic identity while steadily increasing their understanding of Islamic beliefs and practice. Rather than teaching subjects in isolation, the curriculum integrates topics across ʿAqīdah, Fiqh, Sīrah, Qur'anic stories, Islamic history, and personal development, creating a coherent learning journey that continues throughout the primary years. The accompanying workbooks reinforce classroom learning through carefully designed activities that encourage understanding, reflection, creativity, and critical thinking. The curriculum is rooted in authentic Islamic sources and has been refined through more than two decades of classroom experience.

About the Textbook

The Safar Islamic Studies Level 1 Textbook introduces young learners to the foundations of Islamic knowledge in an engaging and accessible way. Its lessons present key concepts from the Qur'an and Sunnah using language and visual design that are appropriate for early primary students.

The textbook covers a broad range of essential subjects, including Qur'anic stories, core Islamic beliefs (ʿAqīdah), acts of worship and everyday rulings (Fiqh), important events from the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sīrah), together with personal, social, and spiritual development (Tarbiyah). By bringing these subjects together within one structured course, children begin developing a balanced understanding of Islam while also strengthening their love for their faith.

Colourful illustrations, attractive page layouts, and engaging lesson presentation help maintain children's interest throughout the course, making Islamic learning enjoyable while supporting long-term understanding and retention. As the first book in the Safar Islamic Studies series, Level 1 lays the educational foundation upon which the remaining levels continue to build. It also forms part of Safar's wider curriculum alongside the Learn to Read, Learn by Heart, and Learn Arabic programmes, providing families and schools with a complete pathway for Islamic education.

About the Workbook

The Safar Islamic Studies Level 1 Workbook has been created to accompany the Level 1 Textbook, helping children reinforce and apply the knowledge they have learned during lessons.

The workbook revisits the same core areas covered in the textbook—including Qur'anic stories, ʿAqīdah, Fiqh, Sīrah, and Tarbiyah—through a variety of engaging exercises designed to strengthen understanding and improve long-term retention. Its age-appropriate activities encourage children to actively participate in their learning while developing confidence and essential study habits.

As part of Safar's structured curriculum, the workbook supports regular revision and classroom assessment while helping students build a lasting connection with Islamic learning. Used together with the textbook and teacher guidance, it provides a well-rounded learning experience that reinforces knowledge in an organised and systematic manner.
