Understanding Muslims Understanding Islam - Secondary Vol 1
This resource explores lived Islam, using the voices of contemporary Muslims to open up what it means to be Muslim in Britain and beyond. The religion and worldviews approach applies different disciplinary tools, drawing on authentic sources from within Islamic tradition. It encourages pupils to reflect on and develop their own personal worldviews in the light of their encounters with Muslims and Islam, as part of a peaceful and productive engagement in a diverse society.

Unit 1: How and why is the Qur'an central to Muslim life?

Unit 2: What unites Muslim communities and where is there diversity?
(Age group: 12-14 years)
