The purpose of the present research is to introduce a praised and reprehensible curriculum –as well as the quality of its elements- from the view of Islamic education with an emphasis on the ideas of Āyatollāh Javādi Āmoli. In this regard, mankind and the predominant ideology in human society was studied and to this aim, the method of qualitative content analysis was used. The present research, focused on both praised and reprehensible approaches to curriculum planning as each of which has a special purpose, method, content, and assessment method. The goal of one is materialism and of another is metaphysics or belief in incorporeal issues. The criteria for the assessment of educational activities in the reprehensible curriculum is based on predetermined indices while in the praised curriculum, it is based on the effect of a newly made product. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the philosophy of education and upbringing in Islamic societies has the potential to develop various theories in itself and open a new horizon of pedagogical ideas in front of human society.
