Turn a text into a teaching sequence
Islamic studiesGoes in: Chat
For teachers. Takes an uploaded work or syllabus and proposes a session-by-session sequence, with the passage each session covers and the questions likely to come up — the planning pass, kept anchored to the actual text.
I am teaching [subject] from the sources I have uploaded, to [describe the students and their level], over [number] sessions. Propose a teaching sequence. For each session: - The passages it covers, cited by location - The two or three points a student must leave with - The prerequisite each point rests on, so I can see if my ordering is wrong - Two questions students at this level commonly find difficult here, and where in the text the answer lies - One short exercise drawn from the text itself Then tell me: 1. Which sessions carry too much and should be split 2. What the sequence assumes students already know that my sources do not teach Build only from the uploaded material. If a topic in my syllabus is not covered by these sources, list it separately as a gap rather than filling it in.

- Compare what your tafsir works say on one ayahUpload two or more tafsir works and this lays their treatments of a single ayah side by side — what each emphasises, where they diverge, and what each cites. The comparison you would build by hand with the books open, done in one pass with the references kept.
- Map the positions across madhahib in your sourcesFor a fiqh question covered by the manuals you have uploaded. It lays out which position each source attributes to which school and the evidence each gives, keeping the attributions the source made rather than inventing a consensus.
- Pin down a term exactly as your text uses itTechnical vocabulary in aqeedah carries weight, and the same word can be used differently by different authors. This extracts the precise sense a specific uploaded text gives a term, and flags where your other sources use it differently.
- Extract what your sources report about a hadithPulls together the chain, the grading and the commentary that your uploaded collections and commentaries give for one narration. It reports what the books say — it does not grade anything itself, which is not a thing an AI has standing to do.
