The aim of this project is to understand the nature of Islamic education in Canada with a focus on how one Islam-based school teaches Islamic values in a secular society. This qualitative research adopts an instrumental case study design to analyze documents in order to understand the nature of Islamic education as found at Al-Zahra Islamic school, as well as some challenges, within the context of Canada’s multicultural society. The study recommends some strategies that will help Canadian Islamic schools find a balance between protecting students' Islamic identity and maintaining their national identity.enAvailable to the World Wide WebIslamic EducationCanada’s Multicultural SystemKymlicka‘s Liberal Multiculturalism TheoryIslamic identityCanadian Islamic schoolsIslamic valuesCanadian valuesproject
