Islamiat

Business studies at the O/A Level and IGCSE/Edexcel levels provide students with a strong foundation in understanding the intricacies of the business world.

Introduction

Islamiat (or Islamic Studies) is a fundamental subject that deepens students’ understanding of Islam’s teachings, history, and practices. It is offered at O Level, A Level, and IGCSE under Cambridge and Edexcel examination boards. The subject aims to develop a thorough understanding of the Holy Quran, the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the early Islamic community, and the practical application of Islamic principles in everyday life. By studying Islamiyat, students not only enhance their spiritual knowledge but also develop critical thinking, analytical, and interpretative skills.
