The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly has given the go-ahead to introduce Seerat-un-Nabi ﷺ—the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad—as a dedicated subject in the school curriculum. The decision came in a session led by Idris Khattak, from the Panel of Chairmen, with the resolution brought forth by government member Abdul Salam.
The aim behind this move is clear: guiding today’s younger generation towards a better understanding of the Prophet’s life and values. The assembly’s resolution suggests that by adding Seerat-un-Nabi ﷺ as a subject, children will learn about the Prophet’s character, kindness, compassion, and wisdom, all core values that can shape their lives positively. It’s a step meant to help students connect deeply with these teachings and make them a part of their lives.
The proposal stirred no controversy and was passed unanimously, showing a collective agreement on the importance of teaching these values in a world where understanding and empathy are needed more than ever. It highlights the desire within the assembly to preserve and share the essence of the Prophet’s life with younger generations in a way that makes them more compassionate individuals.
With this resolution, schools across the province are now likely to introduce this subject soon, making sure that every child grows up with a deeper, more personal understanding of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The idea is to instill values that go beyond academics and to nurture a sense of moral and ethical responsibility in each student. This development is indeed a unique approach to bring faith-based education into the mainstream, fostering an environment where students can relate to and implement these lessons in their daily lives.
