*تعريف الأخلاق: معايير السلوك المُتَعارَف عليها.*
Moral is define as a standard of attitudes universally acknowledged.
تعريف القيم : المبادئ الشخصية التي تحدد للفرد
قال ابن القيم في "مدارج السالكين" 2 / 308:
وحسن الخلق يقوم على أربعة أركان لا يتصور قيام
Good characters dwell on Four
١.الصبر patience
٢.العفة Chastity
٣.الشجاعة Courage
٤.العدل Justice
ومنشأ جميع الأخلاق السافلة وبناؤها على أربعة أركان:
Debasing Characters spring from Four:
١.الجهل Ignorance
٢.والظلم Oppression
٣.والشهوة Desire
٤.والغضب Anger
Allah says:
قال تعالى:
#ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ #
Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He [i.e., Allāh] may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness].
Thus our Educational System takes its share of these mess.
The Educational System entails 5 key players
1.The Administrators:
*The Manhaj
*The Books
2.The Teachers:
*Qualified
*Competent
*Stable
3.The Students
4.The Environment
5.The Parents
*The influence/Impact*
#أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍۢ فَٱنْهَارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ #
Allah says:
Which then is best? - he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? - or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? and it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong.
Conclusion:
*The Change Progect*
{إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لا يُغَيِّرُ ما بِقَومٍ حَتّى يُغَيِّروا ما بِأَنفُسِهِم } )
[الرعد:11]
Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.
Q13:11
