The effect of adult religious education in Qur'an courseson individual morals Yalova/Çiftlikköy example

Religious belief is one of the values that form the basis of society. It can be observed that those who are somehow deprived of these values have difficulty in protecting their souls and bodies against turbulent and stressful lives. Again, it is an important fact that citizens who are deprived of reading the book and teachings of the religion they believe in and who have reached a certain age, have their moral values increased by compensating for these needs. It is expected that they will be more peaceful and spiritually healthier with the confidence of having succeeded in learning to read their own book and receiving education, by feeling the pleasure of fulfilling a very important deficiency at that age. In this respect, it is seen that the Presidency of Religious Affairs, General Directorate of Education Services, considering the fact that this gap is an essential issue to be filled, has filled it by opening courses that provide this opportunity to adults/elderly people within the framework of the Quran Courses Application Principles and provisions. The aim of this study conducted for adults is to investigate the place of religious education in the lives of adults, its effect on their lives, what it has gained or will gain, whether it has contributed to their lives before and after education, whether it has made a difference in their behaviors, and if so, what kind of a change it has contributed to. Within the framework of the data and results obtained, it is to eliminate the possible deficiencies of this education provided in Quran courses and to contribute to the fulfillment of the necessary conditions for providing a better education. In short, in this study, interviews were conducted with a certain number of course participants regarding the contribution of religious education given to adults in Quran courses to individual morality, in other words, whether it has an effect on individual morality. In the light of the data obtained as a result of the field study, ideas are developed on the weak and strong aspects of these courses and solution suggestions are presented. As a result of the study, it can be stated that these courses, which are beneficial to the individual in various ways, should be made more efficient. In the last section, we can say that the study is completed with the analysis, explanation and results of the interviews conducted in the light of the basic information given on the subject in the first section of this study, in which we tried to express its purpose and result.
