VJERA U SVAKODNEVNICI
RELIGION IN AN EVERYDAY LIFE

Summary/Abstract: Reading through the new educational program for religious education we note that Islamic jurisprudence (Fikh) subjects are not dominant and that this approach should be further promoted. If we check on the number of verses (Ayat) that deal with legal issues, we are faced with a striking figure of only 500, which is indeed a very small portion of Allah’s book, meant to be a guidance for the mankind. Even though the published literature gives out impression that Fikh subjects dominate, we should promote an approach that legal issues too should be put into a context of what is the end purpose and what is just the means of achieving it. By constantly paying attention to the reality that surrounds us, we will make the religious education contemporary, useful and attractive. This article deals with issues of how to present Fikh in religious education, giving some pointers as to the direction in which this presentation should go so as to make it more efficient and suitable for children of that age.
