Doctrine and its function in establishing values and human development

Abstract

The Islamic religion has a unique and significant role in enhancing and fortifying a person's determination, as well as in cultivating a successful individual who contributes much to their community. Hence, the Islamic religion serves as the foundation not only for personal development, but also for the betterment of whole societies, making it a catalyst for transforming entire families and promoting the welfare of people. Therefore, we may cultivate and nurture a generation with accurate, rational, and resilient views, who prioritise the right convictions in their conscience and innermost being. By use of these opportunities, we may cultivate a resilient person who will assume a significant position in both the industry and the Islamic community, making notable contributions in several domains, including morality and social engagement. He takes great pride in his beliefs and religion, vigorously protecting his prophets, maintaining a strong connection with his Creator and Lord, and faithfully adhering to the principles and teachings of his religion. Hence, the Holy Qur'an emphasises the purifying of the soul via monotheism, which entails believing in Allah (All-Powerful and Supreme), His scriptures, His prophets, His celestial beings, and the Day of Judgement. The esteemed Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him and his family) dedicated himself to promoting and reinforcing the sound doctrine in the hearts of believers, recognising its profound influence on personal development, family dynamics, and the overall well-being of societies. This topic holds significant importance in the scientific and practical aspects of religious doctrinal lessons in university education. It enables students of Islamic studies to effectively refute doubts and misconceptions. This responsibility applies to both undergraduate and graduate students, as they engage in discussions with their peers. The function of religion is crucial in imparting the pupils with a solid and accurate theology.
