A Study of the Principles of Public Order in the Fundamental Reform Document of Education based on the Holy Qur an

Public order is one of the important subjects in the field of education. This is because order and discipline play a crucial role in human life, and teachers should try to plant the seeds of knowledge, faith, piety, and discipline in the students’ prepared and fertile minds in order to harvest the fruit of righteous human beings. The educational teachings and recommendations of religious leaders concerning the correct training of children indicate that the teaching of order and discipline demands particular attention. Given the fact that the Fundamental Reform Document of Education functions as a map for the educational methods and directions of the country, it is of prime importance to investigate it by paying attention to the different components of public order. Therefore, the present paper addresses these components through a content analysis of the studies related to public order in the Holy Qur’an. Having described the principles of public order, the authors analyze and explore it with regard to the solutions suggested in the Fundamental Reform Document of Education. The components of public order in the Qur’an are: cooperation, council, fulfillment of obligation, security, and forbidding injustice. In the solutions proposed in the Document, more attention has been paid to the first three components while the fourth and fifth are almost neglected.
