Education and Curricular Perspectives in the Qur’an is a unique academic study that focuses on different perspectives of education curriculum in the Qur’an. Sarah Risha explains how Allah Almighty, as the great teacher, communicated His divine message, the Qur’an, which may be considered as the textbook, to His students, the prophets. The primary source is the Qur’an itself, and sayings of the Prophet Mohammed when necessary. While curriculum is a broad term, Risha addresses five aspects in particular to examine how the Qur’an deals with this vital element, and connects this central religious text to current academic curriculum studies.
Sarah Risha’s new book aims to present through six chapters an introductory, yet at times advanced, picture of the aspects and characteristics of the Qurʾa¯nic curriculum.... [This book] would be a good resource for any instructor to present the main curricular perspectives in the Qurʾa¯n.
