This study aims to identify the contemporary view of the term "authentic materials" from an Islamic perspective. An effort was made to determine how the current use of "authentic materials" in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) differs in the light of the Islamic perspective. To achieve this goal, the documentation research method was used as a means of collecting data. This method was found to be unique and reliable because it is based on a qualitative rather than quantitative approach. Authentic Materials are defined and their advantages for TEFL discussed. The dilemma posed by authentic materials for Muslim teachers and learners is explained. Following a discussion of considerations in materials selection, sample materials and tasks related to Employment, Technology, and Consumer Goods are presented, in order to show how these can presented in a way that retains the original communication content, without compromising Islamic values.
