In this dissertation I attempt to find elements of education and curricular perspective in the Qur'an. I argue that there is little research in the field of curriculum instruction that discusses the Qur'an's educational aspects and, as a result, much ignorance of the Qur'an's material that deals with education and curricular perspective in the Qur'an. Researchers may find many materials that deal with reading, memorizing, and reciting the Qur'an, along with references that deal with science and math in the Qur'an. Therefore, this dissertation answers the question: What curriculum exists within the Quran? This dissertation is divided into five chapters exploring various aspects of the curriculum. The word "curriculum" is used in one chapter to mean developing the person as a whole in all aspects of life whether spiritual, social, or mental while in the other chapter curriculum is used to refer to methods of instruction. I concluded that curriculum in the Qur'an uses different methods of instructions to develop the individual as a whole in all aspects of life while granting freedom of choice.

Analyzed the primary resources such as the Qur'an along with several Muslim scholarly pieces of literature written by Muslim Feminists regarding Women in Islam. Interpretations of the Qur'an have been passed from generation to another, and therefore there is a strict reliance on such established interpretation that is mainly conducted by men. There is a lack of participation in women reading and interpreting the Qur'an. This is a disadvantage to the Muslim community, as it encourages interpretive cultural practices that constitute politics and power, rather than a true and authentic translation of the Qur'an as cohesive guidance for gender justice. Feminism in Islam does exist as it aligns with the Quranic principles of gender justice. Feminism was showcased in many historical movements in the following Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Yemen, and Iran. These events are important to analyze and consider to further understand the framework of Muslim feminism and how it aligns with the Qur'an. My focus was analyzing Muslim Feminist scholars, who have blueprinted a path for Muslim women to understand their role in Islam and provide an accurate interpretation of the Qur'an versus socio-cultural practices which have impacted how women in Islam are perceived and treated.

The Mizrahi Jews have greatly influenced current Israeli culture through their music and food. The Mizrahi immigrated from Middle Eastern countries and brought with them their music and food. Their music has changed slowly over time. Musiqa Mizrahit started as music the Mizrahi brought with them when the immigrated to Israel. As they adjusted to Israeli society, they began switching the Arabic words to Hebrew. Musiqa Mizrahit really took off with the creation of cassette recordings that allowed anyone to cheaply record music and share it. As Musiqa Mizrahit became more accessible, it slowly gained popularity across Israel. As popularity for the genre, it slowly became accepted in Israeli society. Up until then, Musiqa Mizrahit had been discriminated against and was not considered part of Israeli culture. Nowadays, Musiqa Mizrahit is very popular and widely accepted in Israel. The food was accepted by the Ashkenazi in the first two decades of the countries existence by the widespread Israeli pushback in Mandatory Palestine and into the existence of the brand new country. now many of the Mizrahi foods are considered part of the Israeli national cuisine.
