Ramadan as a Moral System: Analysis and Educational Implications
Zaki Kamal; Randa Khair Abbas
Curriculum and Teaching, v39 n2 p59-69 2024
The world is facing crises at the personal, community and national levels, disconnection from traditional value systems and loss of a guiding moral compass. While religion is certainly not the only basis for personal and societal values, religion can provide a moral system that is sorely needed. In Islam, great wisdom can be found in the holy month of Ramadan, its value system offering unique benefits for character development and improvement of society. This article details the moral system of Ramadan and, given that the majority of people in the Western world do not actively practice a religion, suggests how Ramadan values might be introduced as part of a course in moral education.
