      are constructed

There are four general principles on which the methods of teaching the Islamic education are constructed and should be taken in account. These principals are some considerations about the learners to be affected the maximum effects. These principals are;

Consideration of learner's needs, interests and in calcinations

We should take into account the tendency of children to some subjects, that are easier for them to understand. Ibn Khaldun has mentioned that asking the children to study the difficult issues that are over their perception may lead to impaired them mentally, and also, to the hatred of the science and the learning permanently. He, also, called that the subjects should be suitable in difficulty to the student's mind. He refused the educators who were calling and advising the starting by the difficult subjects to the child thinking that will help him strengthen his thinking. Ibn Khaldun says "to transfer from the easy to the difficult". He agreed with the modern theories that call for consideration of learner's needs, interests and inclination in order to succeeded where success leads to another success and so on.

Consideration of learner's learning objectives

The learning objectives varies from a student to another whereas some learners want education to earn their living, others need to raise their rank and social level. We can find some who love education for itself as the Hadith says "two never satisfy; (the) one who seeks for knowledge and (the) one who seeks for money" where knowledge is power in itself.

      are constructed

For the first group who want to earn their life, Islamic education should focus on its practical content.

For the second group who want raising their standard in the society, Islamic educational curriculum should concern the thinking methods and principals.

For the third group, they must be prepared to further studies under the control of the best teachers.

Consideration of individual differences among the learners.

All the students are not the same in every aspect such as the tall, the age, the sex, the social background, the intellectual all level, this last aspect is the most important. As students differ in their minds, background knowledge and the degree of their intelligence. The Islamic educational curriculum should take into account these natural differences. It is recommended to design pretests that measure these differences then put everyone in a suitable group or grade in order to profit from the educational operation.

Giving freedom to learner to practice what is learned

It is useful and justice, in the same time, to put the right person in the right place. For the students, who finished a particular grade or stage, have the right to get useful and profited from their efforts. Islamic education curriculum should not waste the time and the efforts of the students in teaching content that will not be used and out any of value in the life.
