Abstract

The paper discusses the reforms made to the textbooks in the Moroccan educational curriculum after 2016, with the main focus being the deepening of the spiritual aspect of Islam, emphasizing religious values while removing the political, financial, and economic aspects. At the same time, there was an openness to other religions such as Christianity and Judaism, incorporating values of citizenship and coexistence among different religions and cultures. Despite this openness, the primary objective of the curriculum remains to shape an integrated Islamic personality. The approach used in this study involved analyzing the textbooks in the middle and high school levels, assessing the extent to which these new principles and concepts were applied in the curriculum.
