ForewordAll Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the master of the former and the latter, and all his family and companions. As to what proceeds:I have looked over the Diwan Islamic Curricula that was prepared in the English language, in een courses, with progression in several levels, including courses in jurisprudence, theology and spirituality to represent the three ranks of the religion, Islam, Iman and Ihsan, and courses in the Prophet’s biography and biography of the honorable companions, and courses in the sciences of the revelation of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, the verses of rulings, the hadiths of rulings, the principles of jurisprudence, and others, all in the English language that combines between mastery and ease to suit the Muslim youth in America and Western countries in general, and with this great work they lled a large gap that was needed to ll.There is no surprise that this work is done with precision and prociency, given that it is supervised by his Eminence, Sheikh AbdAllah Omar Bihi, may Allah preserve him.He is among the best of those endowed with knowledge and virtue, having grown up in America, mastered the local language, and understands the needs of the Muslim youth. He also studied the Islamic sciences at the Islamic University of Madinah, combining the knowledge of Sharia with the knowledge of the current aairs. He suced and fullled. We ask Allah to accept this work from him, and for it to benet Islam and the Muslims. May Allah grant us success.
Our curriculum is designed to provide a structured, comprehensive, and rigorous understanding of Islamic sciences through four progressive stages: Al-Khulāṣah, Al-Wajīz, Al-Wasīṭ, and Al-Basīṭ. Each stage builds upon the previous one, ensuring a thorough and complete education. Each stage of our curriculum is meticulously craed to provide students with a robust foundation in the Islamic sciences.Stage One: Al-KhulāṣahAl-Khulāṣah serves as the foundation, summarizing the three essential pillars of the religion: Islām, Imān, and Iḥsān. This level emphasizes the fundamental sciences of Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence), ‘Aqīdah (Creed), and Tazkiyah (Spiritual Purication), providing the basic knowledge every Muslim needs.Stage Two: Al-WajīzAl-Wajīz bridges the foundational sciences to the objective sciences by connecting our story from the inception of Ādam to the present day. This level incorporates the stories of the Prophets, the Sīrah (biography) of Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ, the lives of the Ṣaḥābah (companions), and the historical accounts of Islamic dynasties, states, and prominent Islamic gures.About Diwan

Chapter: 04al-Kutub (Books)
Allāh () says:“We have indeed sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and sent down with them the Book and the Balance, so that people may uphold justice.”[Al-Ḥadīd: 25]The Prophet said in his Dua’:“I believe in the Book You have revealed, and the Prophet you have sent.”{Agreed Upon}54
Belief in the BooksBelief in the books that Allāh sent to the prophets is the third pillar of Imān. Muslims must believe in all the books revealed by Allāh to His messengers. These books show us how to live a good life and please Allāh.The Qur’ān is the nal and most important book. It was revealed to Prophet Muḥammad , and it’s the last message from Allāh to guide all of humanity. It cancels all the earlier books and has authority over them.The Books Allāh Sent to the ProphetsAllāh revealed many books to dierent prophets to help guide people. These are some of the books mentioned in the Qur’ān:The Four Books:01. At-Tawrāt (The Torah), given to Prophet Mūsā ().02. Az-Zabūr (The Psalms), given to Prophet Dāwūd ().03. Al-Injīl (The Gospel), given to Prophet ‘Īsā ().04. Al-Qur’ān (The Qur’ān), the nal and complete book given to Prophet Muḥammad ()55
There were also three other books, but they are not full books like the Qur’ān. They are:01. Ṣuḥuf Ibrāhīm (The Scrolls of Ibrāhīm) given to Prophet Ibrāhīm ().02. Ṣuḥuf Mūsā (The Scrolls of Mūsā) given to Prophet Mūsā ().03. Al-Alwāḥ (The Tablets of Mūsā) given to Prophet Mūsā ().We believe in these books because they were all revealed by Allāh, and they help guide us to live according to His will.56
The Preservation of BooksOver time, many parts of the books sent to earlier prophets were lost, changed, or misunderstood by the people who were sup-posed to protect them. For example, the Torah (given to Mūsā) and the Gospel (given to ‘Īsā) were changed by the people who followed these books. They made changes because they wanted the books to say what they liked, instead of keeping the words exactly as Allāh revealed them.This is dierent from the Qur’ān. Allāh promised to protect the Qur’ān, which is why it has never been changed. The Qur’ān is the only book that has been kept exactly the same since it was rst revealed.The Preservation of the Qur’ānThe Qur’ān is special because Allāh Himself promised to protect it. Allāh says in the Qur’ān: “We have revealed the Remembrance [i.e., the Qur’ān], and We will preserve it.” This means that the Qur’ān will never be changed, and it will always stay the same, just like when it was rst revealed to the Prophet Muḥammad .One of the ways we know the Qur’ān has been protected is by how many people have memo-rized it. Millions of Muslims all over the world have memorized the entire Qur’ān, 57
and they pass it down from generation to generation. This spe-cial tradition of memorizing the Qur’ān has been happening for over 1,400 years. Because so many people have memorized the Qur’ān word-for-word, it is impossible for anyone to change it.The Qur’ān is also easy to memorize, as Allāh made it that way. He says in the Qur’ān: “And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy to remember; so is there anyone who will remember?” This is one of the miracles of the Qur’ān, it is preserved in the hearts of Muslims all around the world.The Miracle of the Qur’ānThe Qur’ān is not just a book; it is a miracle from Allāh. The Qur’ān is a living miracle because it continues to be a wonder for people today, just as it was when it was rst revealed.All the other prophets were given miracles that happened in their time, like when Prophet Mūsā () split the sea. But the Qur’ān is a miracle for all times. The words of the Qur’ān are powerful, beautiful, and wise. They teach us everything we need to know about how to live our lives in a way that pleases Allāh.The Qur’ān is also amazing because it teaches us about things that no one knew at the time it was revealed. For example, it talks about the stages of a baby growing in the mother’s womb, something that only modern science has recently discovered.58
The Qur'ānThe Qur’ān, a book of light,A gi from Allāh, shining bright,It guides us through both day and night,A path of truth, pure and right.It tells the stories of the past,Of prophets’ journeys, wide and vast,It teaches us to do our best,And follow Allāh’s way to rest.A miracle that’s always near,Its message, clear and ever dear,A book of wisdom, love, and might,A shining beacon in the night.Fun Facts About the Qur’ānHere are some interesting facts about the Qur’ān! % It is divided into 30 sections, called Juz % The Qur’ān has 114 chapters called Sūrahs % Each Sūrah has a dierent number of verses called Āyahs59
% In total, the Qur’ān has 6,236 Āyahs (verses) % The longest Sūrah is Al-Baqarah, which has 286 Āyahs (verses) % The shortest Sūrah is Al-Kawthar, with just 3 Āyahs (verses) The Qur’ān was revealed to the Prophet Muḥammad over a period of 23 years, and it is the last and nal book from Allāh, guiding us in everything we need to know.Conclusion:Belief in the books that Allāh sent to the prophets is important for our faith. We believe that Allāh revealed the Torah, Psalms, Gospel, and Qur’ān, but the Qur’ān is the nal, unchanged book. Allāh promised to protect the Qur’ān, and this makes it dierent from other books. The Qur’ān is a miracle that has been pre-served perfectly, and it continues to guide us in every part of our lives. Believing in the Qur’ān helps us understand how Allāh’s guidance is meant to shape our lives and bring us closer to Him.60

Chapter: 05Rusul (Messengers)
} 36Allāh () says:“We certainly sent a messenger to every community, saying, ‘Worship Allāh and avoid false deities.”[An-Nahl: 36]The Prophet () said:“The Prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers dier, but their religion is one.”[Narrated by al-Bukhāri]66
Belief in the Prophets and MessengersBelief in the Prophets and Messengers is the fourth pillar of Imān (faith). A Nabi (Prophet) is someone chosen by Allāh to guide people to worship Him and follow His way. Allāh sent many Prophets to dierent communities, and they all had one message: worship Allāh alone.The Rasūl (Messengers) is a Prophets who were sent with a new message. Every Messenger is a Prophet, but not every Prophet is a Messenger. The Messengers are sent to people who have forgotten Allāh’s guidance and need a new message.Prophets: Our TeachersAllāh sent Prophets to guide us and teach us about Him. The Prophets help us understand what is right and wrong. They teach us to love Allāh, stay away from bad things, and do good deeds to earn His reward.Prophets teach us important lessons that help us become better people. For example, Prophet Muḥammad taught us how to pray, be kind to others, and always trust in Allāh.67
The Dierence Between a Nabi and a RasūlNabi (Prophet) and Rasūl (Messenger) are similar, but there is a dierence. Every Rasūl is a Nabi, but not every Nabi is a Rasūl. Here’s how you can remember:A Nabi is sent to people who already believe in Allāh to remind them to stay on the right path.A Rasūl is sent with a new message to people who may not believe in Allāh yet.Believing in All ProphetsWe must believe in all of Allāh’s Prophets. They were chosen by Allāh to guide people and deliver His message of worshiping Him alone. Some Prophets are mentioned in the Qur’ān by name.In total, there are 25 Prophets mentioned in the Qur’ān, and Muslims believe in all of them. These include well-known Prophets like Nūḥ (Noah), who built the ark, and Sulaymān (Solomon), who was given the ability to speak to animals. Every Prophet had the same mission: to teach people to worship Allāh and Allāh only.68
There are 25 Prophets mentioned by name in the Qur’ān, and it is obligatory for us to believe in all of them:Ādam Idrīs NūhHūd Sālih IbrāhīmLūt Ismā’īl IshāqYa’qūb Yūsuf MūsāHārūn Dāwūd SulaymānAyūb Shu’ayb YūnisIlyās al-Yasa’ Dhul-KiZakariā Yahyā ‘Īsāand the last and nal messenger, Muhammad Rejecting ProphetsIf someone rejects even one Prophet, they are rejecting all of them. This is because all Prophets brought the same message: worship Allāh alone and follow His guidance. Denying any Prophet’s message means rejecting the core of Islām and turning away from Allāh’s commands.Prophet Muḥammad is the nal Messenger. He brought the last and most complete message, the Qur’ān, which is meant for all people, everywhere, and for all time. This means there will never be another Prophet aer him, and his teachings are for everyone to follow.69
The Characteristics of a ProphetAll Prophets have special qualities that make them chosen by Allāh. These qualities help them guide people and deliver Allāh’s message in the best way. Prophets are examples of good charac-ter, and we can learn from how they lived their lives.Truthfulness:Prophets always tell the truth. They never lie because they represent Allāh’s words.Intelligence:Prophets are wise and smart. They know how to guide people and help them understand Allāh’s message.Trustworthiness:Prophets can be trusted to deliver Allāh’s message. They never cheat or betray others.Complete Delivery of the Message:Prophets share everything Allāh tells them without leaving anything out. They teach the truth clearly to everyone.70
The Miracles of the ProphetsEach Prophet was sent with special miracles to prove they were telling the truth. These miracles were amazing events that only happened with Allāh’s help. Here are some famous examples: % Ibrāhīm (Abraham) : He was saved from a big re when his people tried to harm him because he worshiped Allāh alone. The re did not burn him, showing Allāh’s power. % Mūsā (Moses) : His sta turned into a snake as a sign of Allāh’s power, and he parted the sea so his people could escape from their enemies safely. % ‘Īsā (Jesus) : He healed the sick, made the blind see, and even brought people back to life with Allāh’s permission. These miracles showed Allāh’s mercy and greatness.71
% Muḥammad : His greatest miracle is the Qur’ān, a book full of wisdom and guidance that is still with us today. No one can change the Qur’ān or write anything like it, and it continues to guide people all over the world.These miracles remind us of Allāh’s power and how He support-ed His Prophets in guiding people to the truth.ConclusionBelieving in the Prophets is important for every Muslim. The Prophets taught us how to worship Allāh, do good deeds, and stay away from bad things. The nal Prophet, Muḥammad , gave us the Qur’ān, which is our guide forever. By following the teachings of the Prophets, we can become closer to Allāh and live a life lled with purpose and blessings. 72

Chapter: 07Qadar (Divine Decree)
}49Allāh () says:“We have created all things, perfectly preordained.”[Al-Qamar: 49]The Prophet () said:“A servant will never have Faith until he believes in Qadar, its good and evil.”[Narrated by Imam Ahmed with a sound chain of narration].92
What is Qadar?Qadar, or Divine Decree, is the sixth pillar of Imān (faith). It means that Allāh is in complete control of everything that happens in the universe. He knows what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future. Nothing happens without His knowledge and permission.Believing in Qadar helps us understand that everything, whether good or bad, is part of Allāh’s plan. This belief teaches us to trust Him, be patient, and stay hopeful no matter what life brings.93
A Lesson from the Prophet One day, the Prophet was riding with young Ibn ʿAbbās and gave him some valuable advice. % “Remember Allāh, and He will take care of you.” % “Be mindful of Him, and you will nd Him close to you.” % “If you ask, ask Allāh alone.” % “If you need help, seek it from Allāh only.”Then the Prophet continued. % “Know this: If the whole world gathered to help you, they could not help you unless Allāh had already written it for you.” % “If the whole world gathered to harm you, they could not harm you unless Allāh had already written it for you.” % Finally, the Prophet reminded Ibn ̉Abbās: “What has been written by Allāh will never change.”This Ḥadīth teaches us to trust Allāh’s plan. It reminds us that everything happens with His wisdom and permission. Belief in Qadar helps us remain calm and patient during hard times, knowing that challenges are a test from Allāh. It also brings peace and hope, encouraging us to rely on Him and do our best.94
The Four Levels of QadarBelieving in Qadar means accepting its four levels.01. Knowledge: Allāh’s knowledge is perfect. He knows every-thing past, present, and future. Even things that will not happen are known to Him, including how they would happen if they did.02. Composition: Allāh has written everything in the Preserved Tablet (Al-Lawḥ al-Maḥfūdh). The Prophet said, “When Allāh created the Pen, He commanded it, ‘Write.’ The Pen asked, ‘What should I write?’ Allāh replied, ‘Write everything that will happen until the Day of Judgment.’”03. Divine Will: Nothing happens without Allāh’s permission. This includes both good and bad events. However, Allāh allows some things to happen even if He is not pleased with them. For example, sins occur because of human free will, but Allāh permits them as part of His plan.04. Creation: Allāh is the Creator of everything, including all actions, whether good or bad. This does not mean He forces people to do wrong but that all things exist by His creation and wisdom.95
Trusting Allāh's Plan Through QadarBelieving in Qadar teaches us to trust Allāh in all situations, knowing He has a perfect plan for everything in our lives. Allāh’s knowledge and power are beyond anything we can imagine. He knows what happened yesterday, what is happening today, and even what will happen tomorrow.This belief helps us feel safe and peaceful in our hearts because we know Allāh is in control. From Qadar, we learn important lessons. Always try your best, be thankful for your blessings, stay patient during hardships, and never lose hope because Allāh knows what is best for us.96
Bilal’s Big GameBilal was so excited. His soccer team was playing in the cham-pionship, and he had been practicing every day. He imagined scoring the winning goal and helping his team win. On the day of the match, Bilal gave it his all - he ran fast, passed well, and tried his hardest to score. But in the end, his team lost.As they drove home, Bilal sat quietly, feeling upset. “Why did we lose? I tried so hard,” he asked his father.97
His father smiled and said, “Bilal, remember what we believe about Qadar. Allāh has a plan for everything. You worked hard, and that eort was good for you. But sometimes Allāh doesn’t give us what we want because He knows what’s better for us.”Bilal thought for a moment. “So, even though we lost, Allāh had a reason for it?” he asked.His father nodded. “Yes, maybe Allāh is teaching you patience or helping you grow stronger. Or maybe He’s giving someone else a chance to feel happy. Allāh’s plans are always lled with wisdom, even if we don’t understand them right away.”The next day, Bilal saw his friend Yūsuf, who was on the winning team. “Great game, Yūsuf,” Bilal said with a smile. Yūsuf grinned and replied, “Thanks, Bilal. You were so fast out there. I was nervous every time you had the ball.”Bilal felt his spirits li. He realized that even in losing, there were lessons to learn, and showing kindness could turn disappointment into strength and friendship.98
Benets of the Story % Trusting Allāh’s Plan: Bilal learned that everything happens according to Allāh’s wisdom, even when things don’t go the way we want. % Eort is Rewarded: Bilal’s hard work wasn’t wasted. In Islām, we believe that trying your best is valuable, regardless of the result. Allāh rewards us for our eorts, not just the outcome. % Patience and Gratitude: The story teaches us to stay patient during tough times and to look for the good in every situation. Allāh might be teaching us lessons or preparing us for some-thing better. % Good Manners in Disappointment: Bilal showed kindness and respect to his friend Yūsuf, even though his team lost. This shows the importance of being gracious and maintaining good character, no matter the situation. % Understanding Qadar: The story helps us see that Allāh’s plans are beyond our understanding but always for our bene-t. It encourages us to have faith and stay positive in life’s ups and downs.99
ConclusionBelief in Qadar is essential for every Muslim. It reminds us that Allāh controls everything and that nothing happens without His permission. At the same time, we have the freedom to make choices and are responsible for our actions. This belief helps us stay patient, trust Allāh’s wisdom, and do our best in all situa-tions. By understanding Qadar, we can remain hopeful, grateful, and strong in both good times and challenges.100
