Summary/Abstract: This paper examines how Islamic religious education (German: “IRU”) might be taught in a competence-oriented fashion in Germany in the future. A consensus has long existed that all school subjects should be taught in a competence-based method, a concept from which the young and new subject of IRU is not exempt. It is well-known that a set approach towards teaching Islam is only now first starting to be developed. For this reason, this change of perspective must first be based on and substantiated by the relevant subjectspecific area – in this case Islamic Theology. This article does this by first presenting and explaining the interdisciplinary competences and then by elucidating on Islamic religious understanding by examining the twin Islamic concepts of knowledge and action. These two spheres are brought together and the question regarding the extent to which both elements are compatible with each other and can be employed in IRU is discussed. The text concludes by evaluating the issue under consideration and provides suggestions as to how the understanding of competencies might be expanded and adapted to IRU.
