| Summary: | The Islamization of Human Knowledge (IoHK) focuses primarily on the integration between the curriculum for professional
courses and the Islamic perspective, in addition to the training of educators to be murabbis, and the infusion of teaching materials
with Islamic outlook and Islamic perspectives. The availability of teaching materials which are infused with the Islamic
perspective are still lacking, especially for science based subjects. Therefore, a study on the development of an Islamically
integrated Physics Text book for the matriculation level was conducted. As a result, this paper is produced to report on the
appropriateness of the proposed tool used for this purpose. The ENRICH tool is developed with the expectation that it will give
an effective guideline in the Islamization process of any sciences textbook. ENRICH consists of six main processes namely
Eliminate (E), Nourish (N), Readapt (R), Infuse (I), Create (C) and Harmonize (H). In the aforementioned case study, the
ENRICH tool was applied as a guideline to develop Chapter 3: The Laws of Motion of Physics Textbook, Volume I used at the
Centre for Foundation Studies, IIUM as a template. Although there are still plenty of rooms for improvement, it is believed that
the Islamized of textbook will aspire students to gain knowledge in Islamic perspective. |
