The study used a descriptive method, consisting of (15) educational supervisors and (300) teachers, in addition to all books of Islamic education developed for the upper grades of the primary stage. The analysis was performed using the statistical program (SPSS) and the Excel program. The α-cronbach coefficient was used to calculate the stability factor of 0.930 and Holistic coefficient to calculate the stability of the content analysis. And the Pearson coefficient to calculate the validity of the internal consistency, (Repetations and percentages - Arithmetic mean - Standard deviation -T-Test - One-Way ANOVA analysis was done using SPSS; The study reached a number of results, notably; 1) The degree of Islamic education books developed for the requirements of the knowledge economy from the point of view of teachers and educational supervisors came to a high degree according to the arithmetic averages, respectively (cognitive growth area - field of social growth - economic field) with an average of (2.86), deviation was seen in the order where it came respectively (0.221 - 0.247 - 0.267),Then the national field came with an average of (2.85), then the field of technology (2.81) field of communication with an average of (2.78), and finally the field of mental growth with an average of (2.77), and there were no significant differences at the level of (α 00.05) between the mean responses of the sample of the study according to the variable (qualification -years of experience - training courses). 2) The results of the content analysis showed that the highest areas were ranked in descending order based on their relative weight. The field of cognitive growth was a relative weight of 46.22%, followed by social growth with a relative weight of 22.08%, then mental growth with a relative weight of 11.86%, And the field of communication with a relative weight of (9.75%) followed by the economic field with a weight of (4.04%), the national field with relative weight (3.76%), the technological field with relative weight (2.29%), In the light of the results, the study presented a number of recommendations, the most important of which is the review of the curricula of Islamic education, which was developed in the primary stage so that the field of mental development is more involved and field of technology thus ensuring its efficiency in General education curricula, and be a reference for textbook developers, to conduct a similar study on the evaluation of textbooks developed for different stages of all stages of public education.
