THE ISLAMIC APPROACH TO EDUCATING AND REFINING HUMAN BEHAVIOR

Abstract

Human behavior has been a topic of great interest for civilizations and nations throughout history and continues to be so. Significant efforts have been made to study, analyze, and guide this behavior for the benefit of human society. However, most of these studies have either failed or fallen short of achieving the desired success in practice. The reason for this lies in the flawed premises upon which these studies were based, particularly their understanding of human nature and the behavior that stems from it.

      Human behavior is not a simple, unconscious act that occurs randomly, like that of mute animals. Therefore, it is incorrect to begin the study, interpretation, and guidance of human behavior by examining animal behavior, as is the case with many Western studies on human behavior.
