What the difference amounts to
Both boards publish a single combined IX–X volume rather than separate class-9 and class-10 books, and both are 2006-scheme, so this is a vintage-matched pair. They are not the same book. Sindh's 176 pages run four chapters — the Holy Quran, the Blessed Hadith promoted to a chapter of its own, a large Thematic Study covering beliefs, worships, seerah and morals, and four personality profiles — its Quranic selections thematically grouped from Al-Nisa, Al-Ma'idah and Al-Tawbah. KP's 126 pages follow the four-juz format, built on Al-Anfal, Al-Ahzab, Muhammad and Al-Hujurat, with memorisation, selected ahadith and a thematic study including a Hijrat-o-Jihad lesson, plus an ulema attestation page certifying nothing in it conflicts with Quran and Sunnah. The textual bases are entirely different. The most consequential difference is not inside the book: KP requires a second compulsory religious subject at this grade, Mutalea-e-Quran at 245 pages, giving 371 pages of compulsory religious instruction against Sindh's 176 — roughly twice the load, with no counterpart in Sindh or Punjab. Only Sindh is quotable. Its jihad lesson (pp.86–92) is the most elaborated restraint doctrine in the corpus: self-struggle ranked first as Jihad-e-Akbar, "The best Jihad is to speak a word of justice in front of the tyrant ruler", a state monopoly on declaring war with individual fatwas void, civilian immunity, and the closing "Word Jihad is not a synonym of war". The same volume carries the corpus's clearest supremacist passage, in the tafsir of Al-Tawbah 33 at p.34, against a protected-minority guarantee at p.25; quoting either half alone misrepresents it. KP's framing is not established — its file is Urdu OCR and presence of the Hijrat-o-Jihad lesson is all that can be shown. Sindh's four profiles are all male, breaking the one-woman-first-position rule of its lower volumes. A KP ninth-grader carries 371 pages of compulsory religious instruction and a Sindhi ninth-grader carries 176, and neither book profiles a single woman scholar.

Islamiat Lazmi 9-10 KPK (complete 126pp) — Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Not a class-9 Islamiyat but a single combined 9 plus 10 Islamiat Lazmi volume, which is why its index runs past the printed page range of one grade and why its two index pages list different surah sets. It follows the four-part 2006 national scheme: Quranic text with translation organised as numbered lessons over Al-An… full analysis →
