Usüsü't-terbiyyeti'l-hadariyye fi'l-Kur'âni'l-Kerîm

The subject of civilizational education has a great role in the Glorious Koran, because it is concerned with the aspect that prepares the individual and develops his abilities to build civilization according to the principles of the Glorious Koran. Civilizational education is concerned with culture and civil society, as the two sides of civilization. The religious thought is considered to be the source of the emergence of human civilization. Civilization consists of three basic elements: human being, life, and the universe. The civilizational education derives its characteristics from the Glorious Koran. Thus, it is divine, inclusive, comprehensive, moderate, balanced, realistic and gradual education. Furthermore, civilizational education has several foundations such as: intellectual foundations: focusing on the perspective of the Glorious Koran to the universe, the human being, and life. Scientific foundations: which focus on the tools of obtaining knowledge. The doctrinal foundations: which build the correct vision of the reality of what is extant (present). The worshiping foundations, that build the relationship between man and his Creator. The legislative foundations, which include provisions that are derived from the Glorious Koran. The moral foundations, which include human behaviors at the individual and collective levels, and finally, the psychological foundations, that maintain the balance of civilization. These foundations guarantee the creation of civilization anywhere, whenever such principles and foundations apply. Accordingly, the civilizational education in the Glorious Koran has several goals, such as: moral goals that deal with ideas, and the sensory goals which are concerned with the body. In order to obtain both the moral and the sensory goals scientific methods should be followed - which depend on thought and on the humanitarian methods which are accordingly concerned with the individuals. In addition, there are technical methods that run the two previous methods. Thus, civilizational education has several aspects through which education can be applied, for instance, the physical arenas that deal with the sensory aspects of civilization, the moral arenas that focus on ideas and ethics, and the organizational arenas which balance the sensory and moral aspects. Hence, the educational methods that are applied, such as the scientific style, the humanistic style, and the technical style. Then, the civilizational education is subject to certain controls to be able to survive and to solve the civilizational problems. Such controls comprise systematic controls, behavioral controls and regulatory controls.
