Seminars/Conference/Round-table Discussion
Conference (Webinar) on ‘Islam and Moral Studies in the
National Curriculum’ was held
There is a decline of ethics and values at all levels of society
(Except few exceptions) in Bangladesh. In most cases, not ordinary
people but graduates of various institutions are involved in
corruption and moral degradation. Because our education system,
especially the curriculum, has a very weak religious and moral foundation, although the main source of
Page 8 of 16
morality and values is religion and especially Islam for Muslims. In the multicultural societies of various
Muslim countries, like Malaysia, the curriculum has been re-structured keeping religion and Islamic
education compulsory in all levels of education, without any hindrance to their national progress. Why is it
an exception in Bangladesh? Therefore, it is important to restore the status and dignity of the subject titled
‘Islam and moral studies’ from primary to tertiary level of education.

The above statements made by the speakers of the conference held in Dhaka on Monday, January 25, 2021
at ZOOM App jointly organized by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT)– South Asia region and

the rights of women. The full rights of women were guaranteed during
the time of Rasulullah (peace
be upon him) and Kholafaye
Rashidin which was valid for a long time. Due to absence of correct
interpretation of Islam, some people are trying to belittle Islam with
women's rights. In fact, the rights that Islam has given to women are
unparalleled in any other religion. In our Muslim society too, there is
a great deal of neglect of women's rights. Islam has been working tirelessly for the protection of human
rights and the establishment of peace.
