Islamic value formation

The work examines the significance of Islamic values and moral education in Muslim family systems. It analyzes how aspects of faith affect the formation of a child's identity and what social challenges result from this. Psychological sociological and spiritual-religious theories are included. The work is divided into several sections: First psychological theories on the development of faith and moral judgment are examined. Subsequently the relationship between religion and science is considered whereby the complementary dimension according to Habermas is also addressed. Further focal points are Islamic identity patterns as well as religious practices and the transmission of values within Muslim families. The study shows that religious upbringing offers children security and structure which promotes positive identity formation. At the same time it is emphasized that social acceptance of Muslim values is crucial in order to avoid social conflicts and support integration.
