Islamic Studies

Islamic Studies — 30th Edition 2025 (Revised & Improved)
For CSS, PMS (Punjab & KPK), PCS (Sindh & Balochistan), CCE (Gilgit-Baltistan) & All Other Relevant Examinations
By Hafiz Karim Dad Chughtai (PAS) | Published by Caravan Book House

Islamic Studies is a compulsory or heavily weighted subject across nearly every major competitive exam in Pakistan, and few titles have sustained the kind of long-term trust that leads to a 30th edition. Islamic Studies (2025, Revised & Improved), authored by Hafiz Karim Dad Chughtai (PAS), is exactly that kind of established, continuously updated reference, published by Caravan Book House.

Why This Book is Essential

Marketed as an "all-in-one package" for the various Combined Competitive Examinations held across Pakistan's provinces, this book is built to adequately cover the overlapping Islamic Studies syllabi of CSS, PMS, PCS, and CCE exams in a single volume — sparing candidates from needing separate books for each testing body. Now in its 30th edition, it has been thoroughly revised and qualitatively improved over decades of use, with every topic structured around outlines, well-researched material, and critical analysis rather than surface-level summaries.
