KS3 Islamic Practices Comprehensive Curriculum Bundle – Engaging & Thought-Provoking Lessons

Bring Islamic practices to life with our Islamic Practices Comprehensive Curriculum Bundle, a dynamic and engaging set of lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 students. This carefully crafted resource provides an in-depth exploration of key Islamic rituals, traditions, and expressions of faith, helping students develop a well-rounded understanding of Muslim life and worship. Through interactive activities, creative tasks, and thought-provoking discussions, this bundle encourages students to think critically about religious practices while fostering empathy and respect for diverse cultures.

What’s Included:

• Lesson 1: What Are the Five Pillars?
  Students will explore the Five Pillars of Islam, understanding their role in shaping Muslim life. They will create a revision resource that can be used later to reinforce their knowledge and recall the importance of each pillar.

• Lesson 2: How Do Muslims Celebrate Rites of Passage?
  Students will learn about aqiqahs, weddings, and funerals, then conduct an independent study project on one rite of passage. This lesson promotes independent learning and can also serve as an assessment with success criteria and a marking rubric.

• Lesson 3: What is Eid?
  Through video research and discussion, students will explore Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, comparing their significance. A maths-based zakat activity helps students understand the concept of charitable giving, and a final evaluative question encourages critical thinking about which Eid is more important.

• Lesson 4: What is Hajj?
  A video clip and analysis activity introduce students to the sacred pilgrimage. Students will then create a storyboard explaining the different aspects of Hajj, followed by a comprehension task to consolidate learning. A 5W + H plenary ensures students leave with a clear understanding of this fundamental Islamic practice.

• Lesson 5: What is Islamic Fashion?
  Students will explore different styles of Islamic attire for men and women, discussing modesty and cultural variations. They will then design a modern yet respectful Islamic-inspired outfit, blending tradition with contemporary fashion. The lesson includes a knowledge quiz to review previous lessons and differentiated plenary questions to encourage deeper discussion.
