Islamic Studies: Book 2 by Dr. Bilal Philips is the second volume in a structured curriculum designed to introduce foundational Islamic knowledge to English-speaking students. Developed for middle and high school learners, this textbook builds upon Book 1 and expands into deeper topics in aqidah, fiqh, seerah, and Islamic manners. It includes chapters on the names and attributes of Allah, the importance of tawheed, the fiqh of purification and prayer, and selected stories from the life of the Prophet ﷺ.

The book also covers Islamic etiquette, the rights of parents, the value of time, and the role of Muslims in society. Each chapter is presented with clear objectives, review questions, and practical applications to reinforce learning. The language is simple yet precise, and the content is grounded in authentic sources. Diagrams, charts, and exercises are included to enhance comprehension and retention. This volume continues the pedagogical clarity and spiritual relevance of the series, preparing students for more advanced study in later volumes.
