This study examines the role of the Islamic education curriculum in promoting Islamic identity among foreign private high school students in Kuwait. A total of 286 students completed a questionnaire used to examine their perspectives on the role of Islamic education curriculum in promoting Islamic identity. Results showed significant differences in students’ perceptions according to gender: male students perceived Islamic identity more strongly than female students. In addition, all students demonstrated a strong sense of belonging to the Muslim community and expressed their pride in their faith. Based on our findings, our recommendations include the necessity of updating Islamic education curricula for the globalized era as well as adopting successful strategies based on other Muslim countries’ experiences to preserve Islamic identity in a globalized era.
