Islamic Psychology: Attitude In Islamic View

Attitude In Islamic View 

Attitude in Islam is viewed as an important aspect of a people's character and is seen as a reflection of their faith. According to the Qur'an, a person's attitude should be one of humility, respect, and kindness towards others. In Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 177, it says: "Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask (for help), and for freeing slaves."

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also emphasized the importance of having a positive attitude, and he taught that a person's attitude should be one of forgiveness and compassion towards others. In a hadith (a saying or action of the Prophet Muhammad), it is reported that the Prophet Muhammad said: "The most beloved to me amongst you is the one who has the best character."

In summary, in Islam, having a good attitude is seen as an important aspect of one's character and is closely tied to one's faith. It is viewed as a way to show love and compassion towards others, and it is considered a way to draw closer to Allah.

In addition to the points I mentioned earlier, Islamic teachings also emphasize the importance of having a positive attitude even in difficult situations. This is reflected in the concept of sabr, which is often translated as "patience" or "perseverance." Sabr is the idea of having patience and perseverance in the face of adversity, and it is seen as a virtue in Islam.

The Qur'an speaks about the importance of sabr in several verses, including the following:

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 45: "Seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient."

Surah Al-'Ankabut, verse 35: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account."

In Islam, sabr is seen as a way to show trust in Allah and to demonstrate one's faith. It is believed that through sabr, a person can overcome challenges and difficulties, and that Allah will reward those who have sabr with patience and perseverance.

Finally, in Islam, having a positive attitude is viewed as an important aspect of one's character and is closely tied to one's faith. It involves being humble, respectful, and kind towards others, and it also involves having patience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

School problem: School Dropout In Nigerian Secondary Schools & How to Reduce It

School Dropout in Nigeria In Nigeria, the rate of school dropout is a significant problem, particularly in secondary schools. There are a number of factors that contribute to this problem, including poverty, lack of access to education, and cultural and social barriers. Poverty is a major factor contributing to school dropout in Nigeria. Many families cannot afford the cost of education, including fees, uniforms, and other necessary supplies. As a result, children may have to drop out of school in order to contribute to the family income. Lack of access to education is also a significant issue in Nigeria.

Conflict: Science, Religion and Culture

One of the special characteristics of science is that it is an agent of social or cultural changes because of its tremendous impact on human society. From the industrial revolution after the renaissance of Europe, to the present, the world has developed a technological culture as a matter of necessity.  Consequently, any country or nation which does not aspire to scientific and technological development will undoubtedly be doomed to absolete. Developments, advances & progress are associated with the products of science and technology and so are all aspects of human existence. They have often led to reinforcing the dynamism of culture, the way of life of a people, their norms, customs, beliefs and conducts.  As for religion, the relationship with science is one of conflicts and disputes, in history especially with the church since Christianity was the main religion among the first industrialised nations. The dispute between Galileo Galilei (1564-1942) and the Roman Catholic...
