CONCEPT OF THE SYLLABUS

QUR’AN AS A COMPULSORY TEXTBOOK IN SCHOOLS OF THE WORLD

The objective of incorporating Holy Qur’an as a textbook in schools is to educate the students concerning the Message of God. This serves as an edification of the young through teaching the Holy Qur’an, the divine book of guidance to all mankind.

For using this book of syllabus, the Holy Qur’an is the basic book of study. It is therefore recommended to use the simplest translation available of the divine book in one’s own local / native language or mother tongue, and should carry direct meaning with no alteration as it causes controversies to different sects.

The purpose and advantage of using the simplest translation of the Holy Qur’an available in one’s mother tongue or in the medium of instruction in school for teaching is that, to be easily understood by all levels of students’ intellects.

In collaboration of the above, this syllabus is produced in English language so that anyone who wishes to translate in his or her own respective language could do so with no difficulty.

The main purpose of teaching the Holy Qur’an in schools is to introduce the Message of God to mankind at early stage of their lives, and for them to understand the meaning of the message. Consequently, as the young grow up, the Message of God could be pondered in their hearts and shall live up to them in order to have a successful life in this world and in the life hereafter. Therefore, the general idea of some people that the education of Arabic language, the memorization of the Holy Qur’an and its translation to one’s own mother tongue are must; it is profoundly advocated that this idea should be done in later stage of the students’ life. This is to avoid giving extra burden to the students, since it is self-explanatory that learning Arabic language to Non-speaking Arabic people will absolutely take time and hard to achieve.

Although the study of the Holy Qur’an in one’s mother tongue is stressed upon, but recitation in Arabic is "SAWAB" that should not be missed by worshippers and other people.

The aim of this syllabus is to complete the study of the Holy Qur’an from Class I to Class X or from ages 6 to 15 years.

The first three years, which are Classes I, II and III or ages 6, 7 and 8 years are preparatory levels. For the actual study of the Holy Qur’an will start from Class IV or at the age of 9, and within 7 years, the students will accomplish the study of the Holy Qur’an when they enter Class X or at the age of 15.

Program schedules of the above studies can be adjusted in accordance with the facilities, requirements and convenience of the concerned country.

This syllabus has been prepared after careful discussions and reaching consensus of scholars of different sects, prominent, thinkers, educationist and psychologist; and had avoided all factors which may create controversy. Their opinion and suggestions were given due importance.

However, whilst every efforts is taken during the years of study of the syllabus, suggestions and corrections are sincerely appreciated and can be incorporated to provide the best syllabus for the students.
