The final year of IS-4 and of the Islamic Studies track, following Islamic Studies: Grade 11. Grade 12 is the year the student stops being taught fiqh and starts using it.
The through-line is that they are about to leave a house where the questions were answered for them. Every unit asks what they will do when nobody else is deciding.
Units
- The Adult Muslim — what became obligatory at bulugh, reviewed as a whole
- Food and Slaughter — dhabihah, udhiyah, aqiqah, and eating outside the house
- Contemporary Questions — medicine, technology, and work nobody had rulings for
- Living Among Others — being a Muslim in a non-Muslim society
- Dawah — explaining Islam without arguing about it
- Capstone — a personal fiqh handbook
Builds on: the whole track. The capstone asks the student to write, in their own words and with evidence, the rulings they actually live by — which is the same shape as the Duʿa Grade 12 personal ʿibadah plan, and the two should be built to sit together.
Lessons are shells. Titles, unit placement and cross-references are built; the lesson content is not yet written.
