Integration of Islamic Values in Language Teaching

Abstract

Quality education is an integral part of society and is crucial to mold learners into sound , Islamic-ally upright individuals. Education in Islam dates back to the first revelation to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in which Allah commanded the Muslims to read . However modern education has selectively excluded Islamic values and teachings from the educational system which has led to a society devoid of core values. This qualitative desktop study investigates the importance of integrating Islamic values into modern education and the strategies that can be implemented for the successful integration of Islamic values in modern education.This paper is a combination of principles and methods, focussing more on effective strategies for the successful integration of Islamic values in education. The researcher hypothesized that incorporating Islamic values in teaching can enhance educational standards and nurture learners to be morally upright individuals with a strong Islamic background.
