The study aimed at identifying the Islamic education Omani teachers' level of using the classroom questioning strategies. To achieve this aim, the data was collected by a checklist of seven dimensions and (45) items strategies. After ensuring its validity and reliability, the instrument was distributed to (34) male and female Omani teachers.
