Understanding Muslims Understanding Islam series

Confidently teach about Islam with this NEW comprehensive resource!

This is not just a book! It is a SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCE – packed full of rich substantive knowledge, providing detailed lesson plans and extensive classroom materials, equipping pupils to apply disciplinary ways of knowing.

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.
