Islamic values ​​and their role in changing adolescent behavior

Abstract

Allah the Almighty has bestowed His generosity upon humanity when He sent down to them verses that purify the soul and purify this nation to bear upright morals and enlightened behavior that would make it proud of the nations. Allah sent down to the Messenger of Mercy verses that illuminate his path. The Almighty said in His Glorious Book: “O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner (45) And one who invites to Allah, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp (46) And give good tidings to the believers that they will have from Allah great bounty (47) And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites and leave And their harm, and put your trust in Allah, and sufficient is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. (Surat Al-Ahzab: 45-47), so the upright Islamic religion came after the Arabs were in a state of heedlessness in their time and misguidance, not knowing who to worship, so they worshipped idols, lived in pleasures and desires, ate dead meat, and buried their daughters alive. So the Lord of Glory and Majesty looked at them while they were in their time heedless and devoted to their ignorance, except for some of the people of knowledge of the Book, for they were still on the correct religion. Today we see many of our children in ignorance of their religion and beliefs, especially adolescents who have deviated from Islamic principles and values ​​and their true religion. Therefore, the importance of Islamic education has been demonstrated by establishing fair standards and honest values ​​for everything that a person encounters in general and adolescents in particular, since (adolescents) by nature do not give value to matters of society and family. Whenever the balance is disturbed, society is disturbed. Therefore, Islamic values ​​have been found to be a correct path to change deviant practices that disturb Islamic balances and values ​​by establishing rulings derived from the correct source of the essence of the human being. Because Islamic values ​​represent the general framework for establishing the rulings of the human being and how he behaves in front of society and the family, we find that the role of Islamic values ​​is represented in building the cognitive personality of the human being and shaping the national personality, as it determines the position, ability and value of the individual within the family and the society in which he lives. These are the standard rulings that a person relies on to evaluate his behavior and the behavior of others around him in order to create a barrier to protect him and those with him from external interference in Islamic values.
