Moral education is crucial for all. As a result of moral education, students may conduct various activities morally. Moral development is among the key facets of socialization during childhood. The development of moral standards is greatly aided by teaching provided in schools. Regarding inculcating Islamic character in Pakistani children, we, as an investigator, are required to examine the basic stages of our instructive system. In this regard, Elementary education is regarded as fundamental and mandatory in many countries. So, we carried out this study to analyze the textbook Islamiyat Grade VIII for students' moral development through summative evaluation practices. We conducted qualitative research following the qualitative content analysis. Further, we develop codes in the light of the summative practices for the assessment of student's moral development highlighted in the seven chapters of the Islamiyat textbook Grade VIII. A total of 12 main codes were generated with sub-codes/themes, which were found significant for practising the contents of the textbook Islamiyat Grade VIII. We also recommended students' and teachers' views about the application of such practices for the development of students' morality in the light of the Islamiyat textbook for grade VIII.
