Abstract
There would be no one denying the fact that the phenomenon of Globalization has put a strong challenge to the Muslim world view and epistemology. It has set some internationally recognized standards for progress and prosperity. These advancements are the result of a series of intellectual movements in the west like, Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, Modernity and post-Modernism. So all the knowledge that is being produced internationally is in this Western frame of reference and epistemology. The National Curriculum developed by the Government of Pakistan is an effort to meet the needs of the nation and is being implemented across the country. This curriculum by and large is developed according to the modern standards but arguably it can be claimed that at some key points the Islamic perspective is missing. Especially in social sciences the concept of “Man” is described more or less in Western perspective. At school level social studies is a subject that should build the Islamic World View of the student. But seldom one finds something in this regard. This study will propose framework for developing the curriculum of Social Studies in Islamic perspective.
