Have you ever considered how to nurture your students’ or children’s faith in Islam through a health education curriculum? This series delves into the wisdom underlying Islamic practices and beliefs, showcasing how they are precisely formulated by the One, All-Wise and All-Knowing Creator. Since this book falls within the category of health education, it addresses important health topics while adopting an Islamic perspective.
