The study analyzes the contents concerning character education in the Punjab Textbook Islamic Studies for the 5th class, 2020-2021. A curriculum is an attempt to communicate the most important ideas and elements of an educational proposal in a way that allows for critical examination and effective translation. To integrate character education into the curriculum, effective character education implementation is needed to enable professional development and peer interaction. The content of Islamic studies, therefore, requires investigating for specific context to instruct character values to students which can play a positive role in the country’s peaceful environment. The system of education only gives information whereas the guiding role is completely ignored. The importance of character education is now realized by thinkers, teachers, intellectuals, policymakers, and society. It is evident from the analysis that the book has multiple strategies for affecting the character development of the students. The curriculum is very rich. However, efforts should be made to make it easier for students to unfold the hidden messages.
