This paper provides a critical analysis of Sarah Risha’s Education and Curricular Perspectives in the Qur'an, highlighting its strengths and areas for improvement. The book offers an insightful exploration of Qur'anic teachings, emphasising their relevance to modern education through an interdisciplinary lens that integrates political, racial, and gender perspectives. Risha’s academic expertise and personal familiarity with the Qur'an enhance her discussion, making it a valuable resource for educators and scholars. However, the book lacks a comprehensive definition of “curriculum,” focusing on teaching methods while omitting essential components like learning outcomes and assessment strategies. It also overlooks critical dimensions such as social, economic, legal, and cultural education, missing an opportunity to showcase the Qur'an’s holistic educational framework. Additionally, the discussion is limited to explicit curricula, neglecting implicit, null, and extracurricular aspects. Most importantly, the book would benefit from a more critical approach in aligning contemporary sciences with Qur'anic teachings, emphasising the refinement of human knowledge in light of sacred guidance rather than imposing modern concepts onto the Qur'an. This critique underscores the need for future editions to adopt a broader, more inclusive approach, ensuring a nuanced understanding of Qur'anic pedagogy.
