The Role of Islamic Education in Reducing Cheating in the Educational Process

Abstract

This study aimed to define the educational concept of cheating, its legal ruling, and to demonstrate the role of Islamic education in reducing the phenomenon of cheating in the educational process. The researcher used a descriptive and documentary approach based on analysis and deduction. The study concluded a lot of findings, the most important of which are: The most dangerous challenges facing Islamic education and its educational institutions in our contemporary reality are the challenges and problems related to cheating. Furthermore, the shift away from Allah's approach and the guidance of His noble Messenger, along with a lack of understanding of the provisions of the noble Islamic Sharia, has led to ignorance of the prohibition of cheating, which has contributed to its spread and prevalence in most areas of life, including the educational domain. The weakness of faith-based education, the decline of moral standards, and the decline of the concept of trustworthiness and responsibility in the curricula of Islamic educational institutions have contributed to the spread of cheating. In light of these findings, the study recommended the necessity of combining the efforts of the various educational institutions concerned with bringing up a Muslim individual, and unifying their educational discourse based on the objectives and great principles of Islam, in a way that makes them feel the love of Islam, and its fear about their educational and professional future, and the necessity of clarifying the dangers of cheating and its contradiction with the principles and values ​​of Islam, through the various and diverse means of awareness, so that it is within the framework of true Islamic education that instills in learners the targets of Islam and its lofty ethics.
