Abstract

Islam is a religion comprising laws for the assistance of humanity and to govern their lives properly. While, Quran and Sunnah are the main bases that provide provisions regarding every aspect of human life. In this regard, the educational aspect plays a pivotal role in the nourishment of humanity. Thus, this study has been carried out to explore Shariah objectives in the curriculum of Islamiyat from class III to VIII and to recommend the missing aspect of Shariah objectives in the curriculum contents and its objectives. For this purpose, the researchers employed a qualitative research method for which document analysis was brought under consideration. Accordingly, National Curriculum 2006 of Islamiyat from class III to VIII was studied carefully and the researchers made themes based on the curriculum contents and then Shariah objectives were explored. For which, a table of the specification was used as an instrument for putting themes made based on the curriculum’s contents in comparison to the Shariah’s objectives. Resultantly, data were analyzed manually using the thematic method. And the Curriculum themes were explored with special reference to the objectives of Shariah. Consequently, the research study recommended some important Shariah's objectives which were not found in the curriculum’s contents.
