Muslim education program

Un programme éducatif simple qui explique les règles et les concepts islamiques

In 1974, the Planning Committee of the Muslim Students' Association of the

U. S. and Canada sparked the idea of designing a comprehensive curriculum

for American Muslims who have recently embraced Islam. Such curriculum is

greatly needed by a large population of Muslims in North America to help

them understand Islam as a complete way of life, practice it and live up to its

ideals. To satisfy this need, the task of producing the curriculum and its

supportive material was entrusted to the Department of Education,

Publication and Information. Through the efforts of that Department and the

Islamic Teaching Center, Dr. Mohammad Moinuddin Siddiqui undertook to

work out" A Program of Studies for New Muslims." His deep commitment to

Islam and conviction of the significance of education as a crucial vehicle for

social change prompted him to devote his time and finish the first stage of

this tremendous and challenging work. The second stage is the writing of text

books which are specifically tailored to the sequential level series of this

program of studies
