Mountains: The Pegs of the World| Islamically Integrated Unit Study

For centuries, people viewed mountains as surface features of the earth. It was only in the 19th century that science began to recognise that mountains have deep foundations beneath the ground. Long before this discovery, Allah described mountains as pegs in the Qur’an, revealed to His final Prophet ﷺ in the 7th century, offering a powerful sign for those who reflect.

This unit invites children to explore mountains through both scientific understanding and Islamic perspective, strengthening their appreciation of Allah’s wisdom, power and precision in creation.

Professionally designed for Muslim children and educators, this unit provides high-quality, Islamically integrated learning. It is structured to be completed over a two-week period, while remaining flexible enough to suit your pace and learning environment.

Topics covered in this unit include:

• Beautifully designed flashcards featuring Allah’s Names and Attributes, selected ayat, duʿa and hadith related to the topic
