This curriculum integrates Islamic values and knowledge with secular subjects (math, science, language arts, social studies) this complete and comprehensive course of study for children between the ages of 3-5 can be used at school and at home.

PHILOSOPHY: The Social Studies Curriculum in an Islamic school should attempt to provide experiences to the children which will integrate human knowledge and experiences for the purpose of Islamic living and citizenship education. This implies membership in the Islamic, American and other communities and a commitment to work effectively with diverse people (within the framework of Islamic laws and principles) and to understand the differences in cultures, in values and in responses to various social, political and religious issues in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah. On the preschool level this teaching takes place in a very basic way, focused on direct interactions within the classroom. The preschool is generally the first social experience for the child outside the home.

OBJECTIVES: The entire program of preschool (nursery and kindergarten) is actually a study in social living. At this stage, emphasis should be placed upon the skills and attitudes of working and playing with each other and upon such Islamic social learning as:

• Sharing with others
• Turn-taking and waiting for turns
• Respecting the Rights of others
• Accepting the Authority of Adults
• Caring for Self
• Caring for personal and group property
• Understanding the interdependence of people
• Taking responsibility to complete an assignment
• Helping others
• Developing a positive self–image
• Respecting parents, teachers and other elders
• Being proud of their Islamic heritage
• Realizing the world “Ummah”

The Islamic Studies: Kindergarten book is for 4–5 year old children. Now a day, Kindergarten is like a new “first” grade—where children learn a lot, but with plenty of fun. The goal of kindergarten is to build good feelings about school and learning. Students begin with very basic curriculum. The book emphasizes the most important academic topic—developing literacy—reading and writing. Islamic Studies for Kindergarten begins by doing the same that a regular school does—building familiarity with various aspects of written and spoken words. The objective is to introduce the basics of Islam through many activities—writing, coloring, cutting, gluing, sorting, listening or sometimes simply playing.

The Islamic Studies: Kindergarten book is a textbook and workbook—all under one cover. The book is a perfect tool to help children get the necessary foundation on Islam. The foundation begins with knowing about Allah—the Creator. The best way to know about the Creator is to look at His creations. After forming a children's concept of Allah, the book takes them to learning about Islam and Muslim. After finishing a few months of activities, the book takes the children to an early understanding of the 5-Pillars of Islam to help them progress though other areas of curriculum in the coming years. Islamic festivals, and stories of Nabi and Rasul are presented through concept-building exercises and interactive activities..

The kindergarten curriculum is broken down into four volumes: Islamic History, Sirah of Rasulullah, Qur’anic Studies, and Fiqh & “Ibadat”. Each subject has Goals, Behavioral Objectives, Suggested Activities and Scheme of Work for teachers. Each section also contains activity sheets for teachers to copy and use in the classroom. It is a complete course for teachers. Teachers can visit IQRA's website at www.iqra.org for complete Kindergarten lesson plans for each subject. All volumes are available in hard cover. And this is the volume one of these comprehensive courses of study spanning the three years of pre-elementary schooling. This Curriculum covers four areas of Islamic knowledge:

• Fiqh and Ibadah (Islamic Akhlaq and Adab)
