ISLA has created a list of appropriate books for students and rates them based on the following criteria:
* Well written book with minimal or no un-Islamic values. ** Very well written book with at least one Islamic value. *** Strongly endorsed book that is excellent in terms of reading enjoyment and contains Islamic values. The initial book list, ratings, and summaries are primarily the work of Dr. Freda Crane Shamma. Exploring Islam is a series of 5 textbooks for elementary level Islamic studies teaching. The curriculum was devised by a group of educators at Universal School in Chicago to provide a much needed Islamic studies texts for young Muslim children born and raised in the United States. Each level builds upon the one before to provide a complete set of teachings in Quran, Sira, Islamic manners and worship.
