Abstract:
Religious education” is a deist and God-oriented education and it is the means for improving the relation between man and God. The prominent characteristic of such approach is reinforcing the ideological and mystical foundations (i.e. cognition and knowledge of God) and sense of servitude. In reality, the aim of religious education is to enable man to establish relationship with God, the world, and his life in this world and the hereafter, so that he can move according to the way the general Islamic philosophy looks at man’s creator, man, the world and his life in this world and the hereafter. Consequently, when, in the light of religious education, the relationship between man and his deity goes well and man’s life has divine property, real education will be attainable and man will be able to achieve remarkable progress. Besides explaining the literal and true meanings of religious education, this paper elaborates on a number of the most important strategies for providing religious education by resting on Qur’nic verses
