The purpose of this study is to identify the current issues which are of interest or concern to secondary students and which should therefore be addressed by the Islamic Education books at secondary level in Oman. The study represents the views of a cross-section of Islamic Education teachers. The study also aims at evaluating the degree to which the current curriculum already incorporates these issues. Finally, the study suggests a proposal for incorporating all of those issues across the curriculum for the three secondary grades.

The study also involved analysis of secondary level Islamic education books. Two questionnaires were developed. The first was used to identify the current issues of interest or concern to the students and asked teachers to suggest where these issues should be incorporated. This questionnaire contained 60 items which came under five main topics. The second questionnaire was developed to analyse the content of the current Islamic education books for the three grades at the secondary level. This questionnaire consisted of 38 items that came under four topics. Percentages and means were used to analyse the data and to draw conclusions.
