Islamic Religious Education · Grade 8 · 6 lessons in the design

What this covers

  • Justice and no oppression: ways rights are upheld in the Qur'an, Hadith and the Farewell Sermon
  • Practise in daily life: tongue, hand, market, classroom — not a political protest how-to
  • Significance of safeguarding rights; Constitution dignity walks with Iman, it does not replace Iman

  1. Five protections: life, property, honour, religion, intellect
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Islam upholds human rights as five protections for every person: life, property, honour, religion and intellect — maqasid named at Grade 8 without a university usul course.
  2. Justice and no oppression
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Islam upholds rights through adl (justice) and by forbidding zulm; 4:135 and 5:8 demand fairness even toward a rival, and the Prophet (S.A.W.) refused oppression.
  3. Ways human rights are practised in daily life
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Each of the five protections has a Grade 8 practice: safety of bodies, other people's bags, honour online, freedom to worship, and a clear mind — still not a protest how-to.
  4. Significance: dignity, Iman, and the Constitution
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Safeguarding human rights brings safety, peace and justice; Kenya's Constitution names dignity (Art. 28) and consumer rights (Art. 46) without replacing Iman.
  5. KEBS, CAK, CBK and RBA: economic rights
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Four Kenyan agencies uphold economic human rights: KEBS (standards), CAK (fair competition), CBK (payments and banks), RBA (retirement savings) — know the role, not a product how-to.
  6. Role-play: fake goods, overpricing, receipt, report
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Learners role-play economic rights violated and how to counter them: spot, keep a receipt, tell an adult, report KEBS or CAK — then appreciate rights as justice.
