This book aims to give non-Muslim teachers the confidence to engage meaningfully with important facets of their pupils' lives leading to a richer and more rewarding experience in the classroom. Key aspects of Islam are explored including: foundations and obligations of faith, expressions of practice, the word of God and the Prophet of God, and the role of education in Muslim communities.
