Safar Islamic Studies - Level 7 (Textbook + Workbook)

Develop Faith, Confidence, and Understanding with Safar Islamic Studies Level 7

Safar Islamic Studies Level 7 begins the Secondary Islamic Studies Curriculum, designed for learners aged 11 and above. Building upon the foundations established in the Primary Learn About Islam series, the secondary curriculum moves beyond knowledge acquisition by helping young Muslims understand how Islamic teachings guide their beliefs, character, identity, and everyday lives.

The Secondary Islamic Studies series is designed as a life guide beyond the classroom, supporting students as they navigate the challenges of growing up in the modern world while remaining connected to the Islamic tradition. The curriculum combines essential Islamic knowledge with practical guidance, encouraging students to develop confidence, critical thinking, and a deeper relationship with Islam.

Safar's secondary curriculum follows a structured approach covering essential knowledge, Islamic beliefs (ʿAqīdah), Fiqh, Qur'anic teachings, Sīrah, Islamic history, contemporary issues, social topics, and spiritual and moral development (Tazkiyah). It also addresses relevant areas of modern life, helping students explore the relationship between Islamic teachings and the issues they encounter today.

About the Textbook

The Safar Islamic Studies Level 7 Textbook is the first book in the Secondary Islamic Studies series and is designed for students aged 11 and above. It introduces learners to a more advanced stage of Islamic education by combining essential religious knowledge with discussions relevant to young Muslims today.

The textbook follows a unit-based structure, covering areas such as Essential Knowledge, Essential Beliefs, Fiqh (rituals and rulings), Islamic History, Contemporary Issues, Islam and the Social World, and Spiritual and Moral Development. Through these units, students explore key Islamic concepts while developing a stronger understanding of how faith influences their personal lives and the wider world around them.

The secondary curriculum connects traditional Islamic learning with contemporary topics, helping students reflect on issues related to identity, society, modern challenges, and ethical decision-making. The textbook uses engaging visual design, illustrations, and diagrams to support learning and make complex topics accessible for young learners.

Textbook 7 is designed to be taught over two academic years, allowing students sufficient time to engage with the depth of content and benefit fully from the curriculum.

About the Workbook

The Safar Islamic Studies Level 7 Workbook has been created to complement the Level 7 Textbook and support students in reviewing, applying, and extending their learning.

The workbook helps revise and test core knowledge through standard-level questions while also encouraging students to engage creatively with the material through advanced-level questions. It supports students in developing their literacy and numeracy skills alongside their Islamic Studies learning.

By working alongside the textbook lessons, the workbook provides opportunities for students to strengthen understanding, reflect on key concepts, and develop the skills needed to engage more deeply with Islamic knowledge.

Together, the textbook and workbook provide a structured learning experience that supports classroom teaching, independent study, and continued growth in Islamic understanding.
