Planning Islamic Studies across several school years can feel like starting over every term. One book covers worship, another introduces Qur’an and Hadith, and the next may use entirely different language or lesson structure. For teachers, the challenge is finding a clear path that builds on what students already know without losing their interest.
The Path (الصراط) offers one answer: an Arabic-English series spanning nine progressive levels, with two separate parts per level. It gives teachers and families a way to explore connected topics from the elementary years into later study.
Why a connected curriculum helps
The Path brings belief, Qur’an and Hadith, worship, Prophetic biography, history, values, and etiquette into one sequence. Its product descriptions highlight clear lesson objectives, explanations, illustrations, examples, and activities that invite students to relate what they learn to everyday life. English explanations sit alongside Arabic terminology and source material, so students who learn primarily in English can keep encountering key Islamic vocabulary in Arabic.
For teachers: this means you can look for the next appropriate level within a familiar framework, rather than assembling unrelated resources each year. The image previews below offer a closer look before you choose a book.
Elementary: give foundational ideas room to grow
The elementary collection includes Levels 1–6, each with Part 1 and Part 2. The earlier material introduces fundamental Islamic concepts through accessible explanations, examples, illustrations, and activities. If you’re choosing a starting point, open Level 1 Part 1 and compare its product images with your students’ reading stage and learning needs.

The practical advantage: a teacher can introduce worship, character, and Islamic sources as parts of a connected foundation, while students see important terms in both Arabic and English. Browse the elementary levels to find the part that fits your class.
Middle and high school: build on that foundation
What happens when students are ready for greater depth? The middle and high school collection covers Levels 7–9, with two parts at each level. According to the product descriptions, these books revisit the same main subject areas with more developed material and a broader range of historical subjects. Level 7 Part 1 shows how the later stage is presented.

The practical advantage: students can continue with a familiar bilingual approach as their understanding grows, rather than moving to a disconnected program. Browse Levels 7–9 to compare the available parts.
Choose your next step
Start with the stage your students are in now, then check the level and part before purchasing; each part is a separate book. If you’re planning for younger learners, explore The Path for elementary schools. If your students are ready to extend what they know, explore The Path for middle and high schools. Look through the product previews, compare the levels, and choose the next book that makes sense for your classroom.
