Educational values in Sunnah and Quran

Abstract

This study aimed to extrapolate the educational system of Islamic

values in the Holy Koran and the Sunna. The researcher used the integrative

approach, as one of the entrances and techniques of descriptive approach.

The results of the study identified the characteristics of the educational values

in light of Koranic and the Prophetical Hadith Al- Sharif vision as follows:

holiness, infallibility, eternity, continuity, universality, humanity, clarity,

inclusion, moderation, adaptation, flexibility, realism, consistency, divinity,

balance, perfection, consistency, positivity, harmony, integration, conserving

the life system, educating the religious interior sense, linking the values with

religion, developing awareness to the universe, and to the cultural role of

humans. The study showed that all values as a whole are religious ones. Thus

they have been arranged in groups according to homogenous educational

values as follows: values of: faith, devotion, religious, performance, work,

ethics, family, society, economics, politics, environment, law, Jihad and

aestheticism.

The results of the study showed that the main features for the educational

values are represented as goals, ends and principles that people try to achieve

as they are standards which judge their behavior. The study calls for the

integration between the religious values and the other human values since

all these values depend on the religious faith and are guided by its goals and

objectives.
