INTRODUCTION
Full-time Islamic schools are a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. However, the
growth of such schools has been rapid and, Alhamdulillah, several hundred such schools now exist
and the number is expected to mushroom further in the coming years.

admit students as young as 3 years of age (Pre-Kindergarten)

the ensuing years, these students progress through Kindergarten, 1st Grade and all the way
through 12th Grade, at which time, Insha Allah, they should be ready to enter college.
In the United States, Islamic schools

and,

in

Islamic schools curricula comprise secular subjects, which are generally the same as those
mandated by the County or the State for public schools. In addition, Islamic schools tutor religious
subjects such as Arabic, Islamic Studies and Qur'an. The standards to which students are tutored
and tested in secular subjects, on a grade-by-grade basis, are well documented so that
administrators, teachers and students know, at the outset, what is expected in terms of
performance from each party. Equally important, parents are aware of such expectations. No
similar standards exist for the religious component of Islamic schools' curricula.

The Board

of Directors of the Nur-UI-Islam Academy, a fully-accredited Islamic school (Pre-K

through 12th grade) located in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida, felt that the absence of well
documented standards was not conducive to proper administration, teaching or learning. As a first
step to compensate for this shortcoming, the Board felt that there was an urgent need to structure
and publish a series of textbooks that would fit well into the structure and overall curricula of the
Nur-UI-Islam Academy, and that may serve the needs of other schools in North America and
elsewhere.

This led the Academy's Board of Directors to invite Professor Abdur Rahim, Director of the
Translation Center of King Fahd Quran Printing Complex and former Professor of Arabic at the
Islamic University of Madinah, Saudi Arabia to visit the Academy and to produce a series of
textbooks that would enable students to read, write and speak Arabic with some degree of
proficiency by the 8th Grade. Professor Abdur Rahim was both gracious and generous in his
response and traveled without delay to the Academy's campus to undertake the exercise. His
efforts led to this eight-volume series catering for students from Kindergarten through 8th Grade.

Professor Abdur Rahim's eight-volume texts allow the language to be acquired in the classical
structural form. The books attempt to teach language skills through applied grammar. Each lesson
consists of a conversation based on certain language patterns. Various types of exercises help the

student to understand each of the patterns occurring in the lesson, and to master them. The
vocabulary represents classical and Qur'anic words and expressions, along with words used in

modern

Arabic.

The

series of books are currently being utilized at the Academy to prepare students for the
University of London (UK) GCE Ordinary Level and Advanced Level examinations, via Edexcel
International.

The Board

of Directors, faculty, students and parents of the Nur-UI-Islam Academy are very much
indebted to Professor Abdur Rahim for his generosity and devotion to our cause, and we pray that

Allah rewards him
