This IGCSE Islamic Studies syllabus enables students to develop an understanding the importance of the major beliefs of Islam, and of the early history of the Islamic community.
As a result, learners develop their knowledge and understanding of the main elements of Islamic faith and history, evaluating the meaning and importance of these elements in the lives and thoughts of Muslims. Although the syllabus is studied in English, some familiarity with passages from the Qur'an and Hadith in Arabic is assumed.
Candidates can combine this syllabus in an examination series with any other Cambridge International syllabus,
except:
• Cambridge O Level Islamic Studies (2068)
• Cambridge O Level Islamiyat (2058)
• syllabuses with the same title at the same level.
Please note that Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge IGCSE (9–1) and Cambridge O Level syllabuses are at the
same level.
