Curriculum Pillars

3. Akhlaq and Tazkiyah:

Over centuries, the scholars of behavior noticed that the Islamic Sharia came to reject worship that takes into account only the acts but not the objectives of purifying thehearts. In such cases, the worshiper is interested only in the shape of worship and does not care about its effect on the behavior and Akhlaq (character).
