Abstract
Jahili culture, across every era, predominantly manifests through deviations such as ignorance, prejudice, and corruption, posing a fundamental obstacle to human transcendence. This study employs a descriptive approach and qualitative content analysis with a comparative perspective, extracting data from the Quran and Nahj al-Balagha, grounded in a triadic educational framework. Findings reveal that these sources formulate a pedagogical model by integrating descriptive elucidation of deviations, prescriptive calls for reform, and practical refinement of traditions. This model, through the restoration of inherent dignity, enhancement of rationality, and reinforcement of allegiance to divine authority, guides humanity from the dominion of oppression, social fragmentation, arrogance, sexual aberrations, and Jahili illusions toward the establishment of justice, fraternal cohesion, humility, chastity, and reasoned thought. The Addressed Surahs systematically establish structured legal frameworks, while Nahj al-Balagha enriches these with deepened ethical paradigms and concrete, authentic exemplars, thereby promoting religious brotherhood, theocentrism, and rejection of allegiance to adversaries. Education, as the cornerstone of this paradigm, steers the redefinition of individual identity from Jahili deviations to sublime Islamic values, concurrently fostering social cohesion through fortified spiritual bonds. This research, via systematic analysis, unveils the dynamic capacity of these sources to purify traditions and institute a value system for cultural transformation against contemporary aberrations.
