Religious studies: the wheel of truth management in the education system

As already mentioned, for centuries in the Arabian Peninsula pedagogical activities were limited primarily to Qur’ anic and Islamic studies. There was hardly any serious scholarship on any other subject, as the emphasis was often on recitation of the Qur’ an, study of hadith and Islamic jurisprudence. Although the introduction of modern educational structures in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia diversified education, Islamic studies, in which the state has considerable interest, still remains the key subject. Vast resources are devoted to Islamic studies so that the subject has the maximum effect on the religio-political consciousness of students across the Saudi education system.
