Abstract

This study examines the alignment of Islamic school curricula with the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, focusing on Imam Ghazali's contributions. The curriculum of three Islamic schools in Lahore were examined through curriculum analysis Results highlight academic excellence, the integration of Islamic values across subjects, and holistic development. They also demonstrate good alignment with Islamic educational ideals. However, in accordance with Ghazali's thought, there has to be more focus placed on practical application, character development, and integrating moral and spiritual lessons into everyday student life. This study provides recommendations to enhance Islamic education in Pakistan, highlighting the importance of integrating both academic and spiritual growth. Further research is encouraged to include diverse Islamic scholarly perspectives and a broader geographical scope.
