The aim of the Islamic Education Philosophy (IEP) is to ensure that Islamic Education (IE) is constantly being developed so that the process of delivering knowledge and appreciation of Islam based on the Qur'an and as-Sunnah can be realized in the effort to produce the servant of God responsible for self-development, environment and nation towards achieving good in the world and the hereafter. One aspect that needs to be emphasized to achieve that goal is through teaching prayer. Hence, this article is written to discuss the approaches of teaching prayer applied by the Islamic Education teacher (IET), as previous studies had expressed that approaches used by teachers are not effective. This study uses a qualitative approach, as the data were collected using observation, interview, and document analysis methods with five study participants comprising IET from five selected schools. Selection of participants is based on the proposals submitted by the Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of Education based on the criteria specified. The findings show that various approaches have been used by IET in promoting and improving the teaching of prayers in schools for the sake of improving the professionalism of teachers and the construction of civilizations. This study is expected to be a guide towards deeper understanding of how appropriate approaches in teaching prayer should be implemented in the context of present-day IE in Malaysia in particular and in the Islamic world generally.
