This Islamic Studies course for the Senior Secondary School level is designed to provide a deep, scholarly understanding of Islamic faith, history, and practice, preparing students for both the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) and for life as a morally upright citizen. The curriculum builds on the foundations laid in the Junior Secondary curriculum, delving into advanced topics across four key areas: Qur’an and Hadith, Tawhid and Fiqh, Sirah, and Tahdhib. Students will engage in the study of selected chapters from the Qur’an and authentic Hadith collections, exploring their meanings and practical application. The course also covers Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), the historical development of Islam, and an in-depth study of Islamic moral and social ethics, including contemporary issues. The goal is to equip students with the intellectual and spiritual tools to navigate modern life, make sound ethical decisions, and contribute positively to national development.
Target audiences
- This course is primarily for students in Senior Secondary School (S.S.S 1-3), generally between the ages of 15 and 18, who have chosen Islamic Studies as part of their academic stream. It is designed for students who are preparing to take the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) or similar examinations like WAEC and NECO. The curriculum is particularly suited for those seeking a profound understanding of Islam's intellectual, ethical, and historical dimensions, preparing them not just for examinations but also for a lifetime of faith-based moral and intellectual growth.
Requirements
- Students taking this course are expected to have a solid background from the Junior Secondary School Islamic Studies curriculum. The course demands a higher level of intellectual engagement, requiring students to read and comprehend religious texts, analyze complex moral and legal issues, and express their understanding clearly in written and oral forms. A commitment to regular study, memorization of relevant Qur'anic and Hadith texts, and a sincere desire to apply Islamic teachings to one's life are essential for success. This subject is a core component of the humanities and is crucial for students aspiring to pursue higher education in Islamic Studies or related fields.
