customs and traditions controlled the west for centuries. This feeling of defect and retardation
induced the people there to communicate with the Islamic world for excerpting the elements of
renaissance and growth. Hence, they quoted mathematics, chemistry, medicine, philosophy, and
astronomy in addition to other legislative and social methods. Hundreds of Islamic scientific books
were translated into their languages that many Islamic terms are still noticed. The West burst
forth in founding faculties and schools and itemizing each science and art. Yet, many flaws that led
to the loss of a conscious education have influenced the teaching courses there.
The expelling of Moralities
The Western teaching courses paid no attention to the moralities. They expelled ethics from the
factuality of the studying life. An educationist says, “The Western teaching systems are no more
than a cabal against religion, ethics, and magnanimity.[1] They have been also unconcerned with
the conscious education that aims at planting liberal and elevated traits and tendencies in the
spirits. The grand educationists agree that teaching is meaningless unless it leads to perfection.
Froble says, “Precisely, the purpose of teaching is the presentation of a scarified life which is full

“Teaching has been empty of situating the bases of reciprocal love and cooperation. Hence, it is
not strange that humanity among individuals is eliminated.”[4]

that their behavior fits the habits and customs that the society defines. Unfortunately, the
Western school was inconsiderate and unconcerned with this meaning. This has decreed many
disadvantages, the most significant of which was the collapse of the human values, demolishing of
the principal cooperation among the society members, and the circulation of egotism, greed,
fabrication, and trickery. George Friland says, “Sociologists confirm that the individuals’ right
citizenship and good ethics are the basic criterion of the values of the human civilization. On this
account, education should have carried the heaviest burden of saving the civilization against
retrogradation. H. G. Wells, the great author, who says that civilization is a competition between
education and collision, perceived this situation.”[5]
The source of the ethical crisis that is suffered by the Western teaching courses and their adopters
has been the studying courses’ avoiding the spiritual and
