Islamic History

Overview

Purpose of study

The study of Islamic History enables students to appreciate the core and origins of their Islamic identities, enriching them with a wider perspective of the world before them. Through a careful analysis of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)’s Sirah (life journey) and those of the messengers prior, students will be given opportunities to reflect on and better acknowledge the efforts, contributions and sacrifices made for the sake of Islam. Islamic History lessons enrich students’ perceptions of the world as they derive valuable guidance, inspiration and solace from the stories and incidents of the past.

Aims

We aim to ensure that, within Islamic History lessons, all students:

  • Develop a close spiritual connection to Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and seek his companionship.
  • Learn and understand the birth and maturing of Islam as a divine religion.
  • Understand the revolutionary change brought by Islam in social morals and etiquette.
  • Appreciate the noble and lofty character of the Prophet (SAW), particularly his efforts to establish peace between multi-faith communities.
  • Develop a zeal to follow the Sunnah (way of life) of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in all aspects of life.
