Islamic Values Integration

Values integration means more than just teaching the students what is right at our Colleges, it is about promoting within the students perceptions of life such as the following:

  • Studying and working hard are acts of worship
  • Love and forgive each other for the sake of God
    Repel evil with good; turn an enemy into a friend
  • To be a believer you must love for others what you love for your self
  • Be modest in your dress and actions at all times

Through values integration our next generation of children will know how to deal with the world using proper conduct and morals as they are taught to be modest in everything they do. As a result everyone will be at peace with themselves, their family and peers, their surroundings and the environment. In the long run this will significantly reduce and eventually prevent all maladies in our societies and save the world billions of dollars usually spent dealing with:

  1. Alcohol
  2. Drugs
  3. Family problems
  4. Inflation
  5. Unemployment
  6. Social security,
  7. Gambling etc.


Values Integration is a term that many schools are not familiar with. It is about teaching students how to use their knowledge for the betterment of themselves and society. Instead of teaching what society can offer individuals, values integration teaches what individuals can offer society.

 

Islamic Values integration teaches that God-consciousness and morality are the foundations of a healthy society. AIC endeavours to ensure a future generation of students who will not only graduate with strong academic achievements, but also with a strong belief that the well-being of society underpinned by individual values such as power of knowledge, respect, responsibility, forgiveness, truthfulness, cooperation etc.

 

Students are taught that good conduct; behaviour and self-development are all acts of worship. To strive and achieve ones full potential is seen as a duty. The benefits are long lasting and provide practical solutions to save society billions of dollars.

 

Just consider the positive social benefits from a generation of young adults not involved with the consumption of alcohol or illicit drug use and who have strong work ethics and high morals in dealing with others?


You will find that the emphasis on Islamic values is apparent in every facet of College life- from room decorations to assembly presentations.

 

Assembly presentations focus on a particular values per week. ‘Theme of the week’ includes such values as Justice and Tolerance.

 

The existence, the love and fear of God is constantly conveyed to students as it is a school policy that teachers in all subject areas acknowledge God and incorporate Islamic values in each lesson throughout the whole day. These efforts reflect AIC's view of the 'holistic' development of its student, both academically and spiritually.
