Who develops and writes the Safar textbooks?

The Safar Islamic Studies textbooks are the result of a collaborative effort, bringing together a range of expertise to ensure both authenticity and effective teaching.

The team includes scholars who have completed the ʿĀlimiyyah or its equivalent, experienced teachers from Safar Academy, educators with Qualified Teacher Status, specialists in mainstream teaching and learning and freelance researchers. This ensures the content is academically sound, pedagogically strong and relevant to today’s learners.

Alongside this, the development process is shaped by continuous feedback from teachers, students, parents and external organisations. All materials are also trialled within Safar Academy branches, helping to refine the content and ensure it is practical, engaging and effective in real classroom settings.

The current core team for the Learn about Islam Series includes:

• Shaykh Hasan Ali  – Author and Chief Editor
• Muhammed Ahmed – Author and Editor
• Maulana Ubaidullah Bapu – Editor
• Maulana Saleem Seedat – Editor

In addition, there are ongoing contributions from educators and users of the Safar curriculum worldwide. Full acknowledgements can be found in the prefaces of each publication.
