This paper is aimed at exploring the image of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) as presented in the UK curriculum at various levels of study. Firstly, the programme specifications and guidelines of religious education in the key stages are discussed in the British education system. Then, a greater and more scrupulous attention was paid to two popular textbooks generally taught at secondary schools. A rather thorough and comprehensive analysis revealed serious shortcomings in these texts.One written by a non-Muslim writer is heavily influenced by biased views of orientalists. The other compiled by a Muslim convert presents a naOve, simplistic, yet sympathetic view on the life and character of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Finally, this paper suggests that the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) should be presented on the basis of a scholarly endeavour carried out by learned scholars with appropriate expertise and impartiality.
