DOES THE AIC COMPROMISE ON THE SECULAR CURRICULUM BECAUSE OF ITS INCLUSION OF ISLAMIC STUDIES?
The AIC, like all other Australian schools, is required to implement the standard curriculum for each year level. Islamic studies are an addition to this curriculum. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: ” seeking knowledge is incumbent on every Muslim male and female”. Knowledge in Islam is neither Eastern nor Western; there is also no separation of the physical and spiritual sciences. Islam views all this knowledge as one whole. Keeping this in mind, Islamic themes, values and morals are incorporated into the standard subjects areas including science, maths and social studies. Essentially this means that a student at the Australian Islamic College learns more than students at other schools.
