Curriculum/Content on Foundational Islamic Societal Concepts

Assesses if the curriculum systematically includes content on foundational Islamic societal concepts (e.g., Maqāṣid, Shūrā, ʿAdl, Khilāfah) using a defined scope-and-sequence. Rooted in the pursuit of Maṣlaḥah (public interest), this framework cultivates Istikhlāf (stewardship) by nurturing ethical citizens who actively contribute to societal flourishing. It ensures individual learning connects to broader community and civic responsibility through practical application, while maintaining strict adherence to non-partisanship and safeguarding standards.
