LINGUISTICS ANALYSIS OF ISLAMIC VALUES IN OUR PAKISTANI SOCIETY

Abstract

Students in Pakistani schools rely solely on textbooks for knowledge, hence it is imperative that these books provide reliable data (Alavi, 1991). According to the state's official curriculum materials, the purpose of English and Urdu textbooks in Pakistan is to educate students the English and Urdu languages while also imparting a set of values (Islamic) to the nation's youth. Articles were selected from English and Urdu textbooks that dealt with topics directly or indirectly connected to Islamic beliefs. The selected narratives were subjected to a qualitative content analysis in which they were compared to criteria collected from curricular papers, textbooks, and previous research (Alavi, 1991). The values examined in this research were found to be those depicted in Islamic contexts, with an emphasis on the importance of family (Allaithy, 2019). Students heard from a variety of characters in the stories about the values that should be upheld within an Islamic family and community. Integrating new information into an existing body of knowledge has been the subject of multidisciplinary research known as knowledge integration. Linguistics isn't the only field that examines language in depth; other fields do so as well. Language's central role in so many fields of study has made it a necessary but not sufficient prerequisite for grasping the concepts underlying other branches of knowledge. If one wants to delve deeply into Islamic holy writings, for instance, fluency in Arabic is required. In the Islamic faith, language is held in such high regard that it is stated in the Quran as proof of God's presence. (Allaithy, 2019).
