Abstract:
The issue of awareness is one of the most important issues that must be taken care of. Through awareness, the individual achieves what benefits him, his family, his community, and his country. The story of Moses (pbuh) mentioned in Surat Al-Qasas, brings together many aspects and mechanisms for achieving the awareness through which the individual and society reach their greatest and ultimate goal, which is to elevate the self, the family, society, and then the nation as a whole. The story includes awareness mechanisms that enhance the individual’s self-worth, and tools for building Family, community and national awareness. Since the story of Moses (pbuh) is comprehensive of many mechanisms of awareness, this study aims to extract these mechanisms from the various aspects of the morals, values, principles, and attitudes contained in this story and to highlight their impact on building a promising, conscious personality. The study relies on the inductive, analytical, and deductive approaches, and it consists of an introduction, a preface, two sections, and a conclusion. The results of this research includes: the importance of ethics in building deep awareness; the significance of trusting in Allah's promise and seeking refuge in Him as key mechanisms of awareness; and the inclusion of mechanisms that develop individual, familial, societal, and national awareness in the story.
