This revised edition is Ideally for 7-8-year old, second or third grade students. The children are in their second or third year in a formal Islamic class. This book builds on the knowledge base of the Level 1 book, with an additional emphasis while introducing the basics of Islam.

All lessons are presented thematically in distinct units. Unit 1 focuses on the Creator and His message. This unit answers questions about Allāh, Islam, faith, and the Qur’ān. Unit 2 covers topics on our Ibadat-focusing on the five-pillars of Islam. Unit 3 covers the stories of some of the Messengers. Unit 4 covers some other topics about Islam that are relevant for students in this age group. An early undertanding of some of the basics of Islam is presented in this unit. Unit 5 describes proper adab and akhlaq learned from the Qur’ān and authentic sunnah of the Messenger (s).

As with the Level 1 book, each lesson begins with a coloring page. The coloring time helps students settle down and be comfortable before the lesson begins. Attention span of children is small; therefore, short paragraphs introduce two or three concepts. This is followed by in-class review section to allow for short break and reinforce learning. Some homework is included in the book, however schools and parents are encouraged to buy a separate workbook that has many more test questions and chapter-based activities.

This volume is part of a comprehensive and systematic program of Islamic Social Studies being produced by IQRA' International Educational Foundation for Pre-school and early elementary level. The goal of this series is to develop an understanding of the historical cities of Islam and inculcate in the young hearts a love and appreciation for Islamic heritage. This volume must be read again and again both at home and at school till children imbibe the love of this city and become familiar with their rich spiritual and cultural inheritance. Richly illustrated with paintings of landscape scenes and historical sites from across the city of Madinah, the history, bustle, and daily routine of this sacred place is laid out to instill a sense of appreciation of Islamic heritage in young readers.

Mercy to Mankind is a workbook to be used in conjunction with IQRA's Seerah & Hadeeth Syllabus for Grade Six. This workbook is a part of IQRA' International Educational Foundation's comprehensive program of Islamic studies. This workbook acquaints students with the blessed life and character of the Prophet Muhammad (s) in order that they develop a deeper appreciation of his mission and message to humankind. The lessons contained within have been prearranged in a sequential manner designed to facilitate the students' comprehension of the course of studies.

The idea of teaching environmental studies and world history in elementary grades in schools has caught up with the traditional pattern of education. This series provides basic information on environmental studies and world history at a glance. It highlights the impact of various cultures on world events. Hence, it is at once a serious study and also a light and easy-to-understand sketch of events and the environment specially produced in a very simple, informal style and language to suit the children’s needs. History is not just a set of events and the environment and society, and it's not just a collection of people, structures and natural phenomena.

These books study not just the changes in the world and our environment, but also the "why" of these changes and the divine law operating behind the turns and fluctuations of events. Therefore, the facts and events are not narrated in a mechanical style but in an informal, logical, argumentative form, prompting the student to think and weigh facts for himself, thereby sharpening his ability to opine and think independently on healthy lines. The contents of the books are confirmed by the Current International Syllabus.

It must be mentioned here that the success of the books depends on the teaching techniques and the teacher’s ability to be creative and to prompt the student to think, ask and to judge events by comparison and argument. The teacher must bear in mind that the purpose of teaching Social Studies is not memorization of events and facts. The purpose is to understand human behaviour, to gain an understanding of the "rights and "wrongs" of past and present cultures and their impact on man’s welfare and the world. The student must be guided to think freely and judge the positive and negative points of various cultures.

Features:

• Pictorial series for elementary and higher school stages
• An easy-to-understand sketch of a serious study
• Teaching aids, for easy and effective teaching
• Lessons presented in an informal, logical, argumentative form
• Simple and informal language suitable for the students’ needs
