Safar Islamic Studies Textbook 8 is written for learners aged 13 and above, designed to equip them with the essential knowledge, skills, and mindset to live as confident young Muslims in the modern world. It develops both academic understanding and personal growth, fostering a deep-rooted love and bond with Islām.

Comprehensive and Holistic Learning:
The textbook covers Qur’anic stories, the Sunnah, beliefs (ʿaqīdah), rulings (fiqh), sīrah, and areas of spiritual and personal development. With a unit-based structure and clear learning objectives, students are guided step by step through a complete year’s worth of learning.

Critical Thinking and Personal Growth:
Beyond the classroom, the book serves as a life guide, helping students apply Islamic teachings to modern challenges with confidence and integrity. Activities, discussions, and literacy support encourage learners to think critically, engage meaningfully, and make sound moral and ethical choices.

Engaging and Structured for Success:
Printed in full colour with bespoke illustrations, the book is both visually appealing and functionally designed. Vocabulary lists build literacy skills in both Arabic and English, while the textbook ties in seamlessly with the Learn by Heart Series and builds on earlier textbooks in the Primary (1–6) and Secondary (7) syllabus.

Tried and Tested:
As with all Safar publications, Textbook 8 has been trialled with teachers and students at Safar Academy and beyond, ensuring that it is both practical and effective in real classroom settings.
