The Islamic Curriculum aims to develop an understanding of the concept of love and peace among the people and is also used for educating and training imams, clerics, teachers and young people on the broad array of ideological and theological principles that underpin radicalization and what the true Islamic teachings are on each subject.[5]
Tackling the roots of terrorism
The Islamic Curriculum draws heavily upon the Quranic verses and traditions of the Prophet to expose ISIS and other militant groups who have absolutely no authority or legitimacy for setting up an Islamic State. According to the curriculum, ISIS and other militant groups have nothing to do with Islam and Islam also curses those people who kill the innocent with no reason. Fatwa on Terrorism, also written by Dr. Tahir ul Qadri, has declared these militant group criminals, the enemies of humanity, the enemies of religion, the enemies of morality, the enemies of human values.[6]
