Abstract EN

This analytical study investigates the prevailing values in universities and their impact on students' behavior-considering that students are subject to psychological and psycho-social influences at universities which can undermine frame of reference values internalized from parental education and the original culture of their societies.

While certain components of these frame of reference values need to be reviewed and critiqued, such as the negative attitude towards women in Arab societies (a legacy of the era of civilizational decline), other basic and authentic values need to be affirmed, such as faith, altruism, and charity.

Students need to consider the new positive values that have emerged in contemporary global context, such as democracy, human rights, biotech ethics, and the ethics of dealing with the internet in particular and the digital domain in general.

The study reveals that the value component in the various disciplines taught in Arab-Muslim universities is inadequate and insufficient; a finding that makes it imperative to propose a matrix of values for the different disciplines taught, and those that should be taught.

The study thus proposes such a matrix of values, approaching the subject within a framework of the overarching values of tawḥīd (monotheism), tazkiyyah (self-purification), insāniyyah (humanitarianism), ʿumrān (civilizational progress, in the sense of the structural and cultural development of society), and their sub-branches; in addition to taking a receptive attitude towards new civilizational values that conform to the original value system and its ultimate purposes.
