Introduction
Praise be to Allah, who said in the well-preserved Book of His, "Verily, he has succeeded who purifies it (i.e., the self), And indeed he has failed who corrupts it." [Ash-Shams/The Sun, 10]. So the Glorified and Exalted ascribed success attained through purification to the human being, just as He made corruption leading to failure and loss a result of one's own doing as well. Thus, the battlefield of purification and corruption becomes the arena of the educational process in the journey of life. (Mas'ud, 1998, p. 9)
Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, who explained that every newborn is born upon the sound innate nature (fitrah); the pure innate nature upon which people are created. As narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "No child is born except on the Fitrah (Islam), and then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a Magian." (Muslim, 2008, Kitab Al-Qadr, Hadith no. 6755, p. 1141)
The Noble Qur'an and the purified Sunnah are the sources of the Muslim individual's religious and human behaviors, stemming from the Islamic educational values for the individual. The issue of values is considered one of the most important issues addressed by education, if not the most important one. Values are the essence of human existence, and based on them, the individual determines his paths and behaviors in life. They are the shield that protects the human being when facing the tyranny of the desires of the self and its whims. They are the starting points for righteous work and noble human conduct that preserves one's dignity and fulfills the purpose of one's creation: worshiping Allah and viceregency on Earth.
The Islamic educational approach is unique in its vision of the reality of values. "It does not limit them to the correlation between stimulus and response, or to the needs, desires, and interests of the human being, but rather connects them to the human being, his thinking, and his will, through a unique rational and convincing approach." (Al-Jallad, 2008, p. 369)
Values in Islam stem from the sources of Islamic legislation, which explain the great existential realities - Divinity and Lordship, the reality of the human being, the universe, and life - which are fixed and clear truths that the intellect comprehends and the heart is certain of, resulting in behavior that all the human faculties act upon. This behavior is disciplined by specific legal controls represented in the five legal rulings; every legal ruling contains a specific value, so what the Law sees as good is good, and what it sees as bad is bad, resulting in a system of distinguished, virtuous Islamic values.
Values are attached to the individual and society, as they constitute an essential input, considering the human being as the only being who carries a system of values in his individual and social life in all human societies, regardless of their geographical environments.
The value for the individual indicates that he has a permanent belief that a certain type of behavior is personally preferred over other behaviors. The value is the criterion for guiding the mind and directing it, and it is the determinant of human behavior. The subject of values is one of the thorny and complex topics due to its interweaving in the human and social fabric. It is of great importance to the human society in all times and places, as it preserves its systematic structure. Values appear in the human being through his behaviors and actions, and the standards he uses to issue judgments on the choice of behavior within the framework of declared and implicit values.
The universities play a major role in entrenching values among learners through the educational, social, and intellectual roles they adopt. University life is an educational institution where learners interact with their professors and acquire, in addition to scientific knowledge, patterns of behavior, thinking, and direct and indirect life experience. They also interact with each other, through which they form value patterns that shape the university climate with prevailing behaviors.
Studies have shown that critical thinking increases among university students as their years of university study increase, as they become more capable of criticizing prevailing opinions and values, and more receptive to new ideas and opinions. (Kana'an, 2004, p.12)
The researcher in this study can adopt: that values are a set of preferences, representing the judgments that the individual embodies to prefer between behaviors and objects in light of his academic assessments, and this occurs when he interacts with all his experiences and knowledge within the civilizational framework in which he lives, on the condition that the value is considered part of an integrated system in the form of a hierarchical system with interacting elements that influence and are influenced, with the aim of satisfying the individual's needs within social life.
The problem of the study: The current study seeks to reveal the selfassessment of female students at Umm Al-Qura University for their daily interactive behaviors in their daily lives, to know the nature of the prevailing values among them in light of their belief, cognitive and emotional framework.
The problem of the study is based on several considerations, which are:
1. The system of values is considered one of the most important components influencing the formation of the individual's personality and his behavioral cognitive system.
2. The system of values represents a frame of reference around which the individual's mental and inclination perceptions revolve, are centered, and are shaped according to it.
3. The system of values is important in understanding the motives of human behavior due to its great impact on the aspirations of individuals, determining their choices, and making their decisions related to various aspects of life. (Neuman and Leppien, 1997)
The system of values is associated with achieving psychological harmony for university students, as it is observed that students who are more attached to religious values are more emotionally and socially adjusted compared to those with less commitment to these values. (Abusoso, 1986)
What calls for interest in studying values in university education is the rapid developments and openness to other cultures that humanity is witnessing at the present time, and the unprecedented technological developments in the fields of communications and transportation, which have placed societies, especially the youth group, which has the ability to adapt, interact and move quickly between alternatives and be greatly affected by developments and seek the new, exciting, ideas, customs, behaviors and contemporary social traditions.
The importance of the study: The importance of the current study lies in the following main points:
1. Identifying the system of values among female students at Umm Al- Qura University, and distinguishing between the strong and the weak, which may contribute to entrenching the strong influential values and enhancing the weak ones through various means and methods.
2. Awareness of the female students about the system of values that drive these behaviors and their role in their daily interactive life.
3. Identifying the factors influencing the construction of the students' value system, and its function in upgrading the value system.
4. Deepening the understanding of university professors about the nature of the value system embodied by the students, which helps to understand the needs, tendencies and interests of the students, and to adopt a practical organizational structure to enhance the virtuous values among them.
The aim of the study
The study aims to monitor the daily religious and human interactive behaviors of female students at Umm Al-Qura University, and to assess the degree of their actual practice through the students' own self-testimony, in addition to explaining the faith-based values indicated by the daily behaviors of the students, as well as identifying the role of some variables (social status, college, place of residence, economic status) in the students' self-assessment averages of their daily religious and human interactive practices in the Meccan society.
Research questions
The problem of the study can be identified more objectively by answering the following questions:
1. What is the students' self-assessment of their interactive behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society?
2. Do the students' self-assessments of their interactive behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society differ according to their social status (single - married)?
3. Do the students' self-assessments of their interactive behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society differ according to the college?
4. Do the students' self-assessments of their interactive behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society differ according to their economic status?
5. Do the students' self-assessments of their interactive behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society differ according to their place of residence?
Terminology of the study
Self-assessment: It means the degree chosen by the student to assess her religious and human interactive behavior with herself or others during her daily life within the social system of the university or the general system of the Meccan society on the five-point rating scale.
Interactive behavior: It refers to the behaviors practiced by the students at the personal level or at the level of others in their daily lives.
Religious interactive behavior: It refers to the behaviors driven by the motives of faith and religious inclination among the students in their daily lives.
Human interactive behavior: It refers to the behaviors driven by humanitarian values among the students in their daily lives.
University students: They are the female students of Umm Al-Qura University enrolled in the various university colleges at the eighth level, who represent the study sample.
Limitations of the study
The study was limited to the community of female students of Umm Al-Qura University at the eighth level in all university colleges at the Zahir campus. Eighth-level students were chosen so that the student would have spent three or more years in the university campus to ensure an acceptable level of university education among the students.
Theoretical framework and previous studies
The religious and human interactive behaviors faced by the students in their lives during their interaction with themselves or with others were monitored in (200 statements) expressing their interactive behavior. They are indicators of the belief values that the individual believes in in his social life, so we measure practical behaviors that indicate the belief values and drive them as motives from within humanity. The value of faith is measured by the individual's behaviors in believing in God, destiny, messengers, books, the call of God, gratitude to Him, frequent seeking of forgiveness, frequent prostration, and performing all pillars of faith and Islam. The value of mercy and kinship ties is inferred from various behaviors such as spending on oneself, family, relatives, and children. Moral values are inferred from many behaviors, including respecting the elderly, compassion for the young, good treatment of neighbors, restraint of anger, returning greetings, and striving for reconciliation between the conflicted, adherence to honesty in speech and action, etc. of the behaviors that indicate the tool.
Considering that values are cultural givens for individuals in their different societies, they may differ or resemble in their value systems. Some of the most important previous studies are:
• A study by Ibrahim and Musa (2003) to uncover the most prominent values among students of the Faculty of Education in Benha, which showed that the most important values among the students are: religious values, honesty, family, loyalty, belonging to the homeland and Arabism, and the value of work.
• A study by Al-Tal (2003) to identify the value system of students at Al-Zarqa'a Private University, which concluded that religious values occupied the first rank, followed by social, cognitive, political, aesthetic, and economic values respectively, and the study also revealed statistically significant differences in the degree of preference for both religious and economic values attributable to the academic level.
• A study by Al-Khawaldeh (2003) on the self-assessment of the degree of belief and practice of the Islamic moral value system for students of Yarmouk University, which concluded that the degree of belief among the students was high, i.e., higher than the degree of practice on the ground, and the study also found statistically significant differences between the means of belief and the means of practice for Islamic moral values attributable to variables of gender, college, academic level, place of residence, and affiliation with political parties.
• A study by Qumhieh (2003) to uncover the value structure of Palestinian university students, which revealed that university students gave greater importance to the values of religiosity, working for the Hereafter, family security, and self-respect, while the values of social recognition, pleasure and joy, and a world filled with beauty were of a lower degree.
• A study by Al-Ja'afari (2004) to uncover the value system of students at Sultan Qaboos University and investigate the effect of the variable of gender, specialization and academic level in the fields of this system, which revealed: that the students' value system came in descending order as follows: religious values, social, theoretical, political, economic, aesthetic values, and the study results also showed statistically significant differences for the gender variable in theoretical, political, and economic values in favor of males, and in religious and social values in favor of females.
The previous studies show differences in the results, as some of them showed no statistically significant differences attributable to the variable of academic level and gender (Al-Khawaldeh, 2003).
The previous studies also showed agreement in the results in terms of the ranking of values among the sample members, as in all the previous studies, religious values took the first rank (Ibrahim and Musa, 2003), (Al-Tal, 2003), (Qumhieh, 2003), (Al-Ja'afari, 2004).
The current study agrees with the previous studies in the study community, which is university students, and the current study is distinguished from the previous studies in that the university under study is one where teaching is in different headquarters, and the study will be limited to the Zahir campus for female students, meaning that the headquarters is limited to teaching females only without mixing, and this makes the students' behavior closer to spontaneous and innate practice, far from affectation and manifestations further from the truth to form a belief in others that contradicts reality. The previous studies were interested in the value system and the order of its dimensions among students as they should be, not as they are, with the exception of the study (Al-Khawaldeh, 2003) which agrees with the current study in its reliance on the self-assessment of the sample members. The current study was concerned with the daily religious and humanitarian interactive behaviors practiced in daily life from the point of view of the students themselves, and their self-assessments of them.

From the previous table, it is clear that all the correlations of the questionnaire items are significant at the significance level of 0.05, which indicates that there is consistency between the items and they are valid for research.
To calculate the reliability, the researcher applied the instrument and reapplied it after ten days to a group of students outside the study sample, and used the Pearson correlation coefficient to know the stability of stability and the correlation of each statement with the scale as a whole. The result is shown in (Table 8).

The previous table shows that the daily interpersonal behaviors contained in the statements ranked from (1-131) are practiced by the students at Umm Al-Qura University at an average rating ranging between (4.2-5), which corresponds to the "always" rating, meaning they practice them in their daily lives in a continuous and permanent manner, and they constitute 65.5% of the total study tool items.
Meanwhile, they practice the statements ranked from (132-190), i.e. 59 statements , at an average rating ranging between (3.4-4.19), which corresponds to the "mostly" rating, meaning the students practice them in their daily lives most of the time, and they constitute 29.5% of the total study tool items.
While the students at Umm Al-Qura University practice the statements representing the ranks from (191-199) at an average rating ranging between (2.6-3.39), which corresponds to the "sometimes" rating, meaning the students practice them in their daily interpersonal lives in an intermittent manner, practicing them sometimes and abandoning them at other times, and these statements represent nine (9) statements and constitute 4.5% of the total study tool items.
As for the statement that occupied the last rank, the students practice it at an average of (2.415), and this average corresponds to the "rarely" rating, meaning the students practice it in their daily lives to a small degree, and it is a single statement that constitutes 0.5% of the total study tool items.
There is no item from the study tool items that the students of Umm Al-Qura University indicated that they did not practice at all in their daily interactions. Answer to the second question of the study: - Do the students' self-assessments of their interpersonal behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society differ according to marital status (single - married)?
To answer the question, the arithmetic means and standard deviations of the degree of self-assessment of their interpersonal and religious behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society at Umm Al-Qura University were used, according to marital status, where the t-test was used to compare the means, and the results are shown in (Table 11).

Married | 4.2947 | 0.36846 |
The previous table shows that there are no statistically significant differences between the students' interpersonal behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society at Umm Al-Qura University, attributed to the variable of marital status, and the arithmetic means estimated by the university students for their daily behavior in the Meccan university community according to the marital status shown in the previous table ranged between (4.32 - 4.29), which are averages that fall within the rating that corresponds to "always", meaning they are practiced in a permanent manner, and the averages are close and there are no high differences between them.
Answer to the third question
Do the students' self-assessments of their interpersonal behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan society differ according to the college?
To answer the question, analysis of variance, A.N.O.V.A, and the F-test were used to study the difference between the means, and (Table 12) illustrates this.

The previous table shows that there are no statistically significant differences in the female students' self-assessments of their religious and interpersonal behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan community at Umm Al-Qura University, attributed to the variable of place of residence, as the value of (α < 0.05), which means that there is no difference between the female students' self-assessments of their religious and humanitarian interpersonal behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan community based on the place of residence.
Discussion of the Results
When we refer to Table 10, which presented the results of the first question and recorded the female university students' self-assessment of the averages of their behaviors in religious and humanitarian interactions in their daily lives within the Meccan community, it was objectively shown that the students at Umm Al-Qura University practice or behave in all the items mentioned in the study tool, which represent religious and humanitarian interactional behaviors they practice in their daily lives within the university and Meccan community. However, they do not practice these religious interactional behaviors to the same degree of self-assessment, as Table 10 indicated that the students at Umm Al-Qura University practice 131 items, i.e., interactional behaviors in their daily lives on a permanent and continuous basis, and these behaviors constitute 65.5% of the total interactional behaviors included in the study tool, which numbered 200 behaviors. It can be said that the nature of these behaviors is religious and humanitarian interactional behaviors related to belief, worship, and dealing with others, such as believing in and submitting to the Unseen, not asking anyone but God, fasting Ramadan, guarding their chastity, not calling upon anyone other than God, revering the rituals of God, loving to meet God, praising God whenever they sneeze, loving God and His Messenger more than anyone else, not killing the soul that God has forbidden except by right, not calling upon another god with God, fearing the evil of reckoning, being clean in their food and clothing, having a good opinion of God, fulfilling trusts to their owners, honoring guests, fearing God and fearing His punishment, only asking God for good, being shy of God, preserving their cleanliness when performing acts of worship, guarding the limits of God, not breaking the covenant of God after its confirmation, performing all the prayers, sending blessings upon the Messenger of God, being satisfied with the divine decree, being kind to their parents in their lifetime, and fearing everything that leads to the prohibited, etc.
These behaviors represent a basic value system required by the conditions of faith in God Almighty, and they are values that, praise be to God, bear good tidings, and they are an indicator that the female university students in the Meccan community still embody in themselves religious and humanitarian values that drive their motives and prompt them to adhere permanently to religious and humanitarian interactional behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan community.
The female university students in the Meccan community also behave in 59 items out of two hundred with a "mostly" rating, meaning that they practice them most of the time in their daily interactional lives, which indicates that they adhere to about 29.5% of the religious and humanitarian behaviors mentioned in the study tool, but they do not adhere to them permanently and continuously without interruption, as is the case with the 131 items mentioned earlier, which constituted 65.5% of the items in the study tool. From these statistical data, we can conclude that the female university students in the Meccan community are not organically connected without separation, as they practice about 29.5% of the religious and humanitarian behaviors in their lives, and as a result, they sometimes give up adhering to these daily religious and humanitarian interactional behaviors, but they adhere to them most of the time or the majority of them, which is an indicator of the regression of female university students in the Meccan community from obligating themselves to these religious and humanitarian behaviors in their daily lives permanently, without accepting regression, slackness, or negligence in practicing them as religious duties imposed on them in their daily lives, which do not allow them to be abandoned or distanced from in some cases.
These religious and humanitarian behaviors are the behaviors mentioned in the items from 132 to 190, which indicate religious behavior and social behavior, such as: not breaking out when I argue, lowering my gaze, others are familiar with me, when I donate, the closest ones are the first, I defend the reputations of Muslims, I am not cursing or slandering, I command what is good as much as I can, I spend in prosperity and adversity, I make others familiar, I do not lie when speaking, I care about the affairs of Muslims, I am persistent in doing good deeds, I command what is good and I do it, I visit the sick, I cry when remembering God alone, I am not stingy in my money and behavior, I shake hands with my brothers whenever I meet them, I go on the errands of my relatives, I do not call each other by nicknames with others, I am ascetic in the pleasures of the world, I do not harbor hatred towards anyone, I do not love disputes and arguments, I do not gossip between one person and another, I forbid what is evil as much as I can, I am not extravagant in my money and behavior, I forgive and pardon when angry, I am humble in my prayers, I try to gain understanding of religion, I do not attend entertainment gatherings, I pardon those who have wronged me, I do not backbite people or criticize them, etc.
Upon examining these previous behaviors, we find that the values indicated by these religious and humanitarian behaviors, which are considered an indicator of the values embodied by the female university students in the Meccan community, are religious, social, and economic values, such as: moderation, forgiveness, love and familiarity, overlooking, restraining anger, aversion to vain and entertainment, dislike of luxury, kinship, feeding the neighbor, asceticism, and reconciliation.
We find that the female university students in the Meccan community are unable to practice these behaviors permanently and continuously, as they sometimes do not adhere to them, but rather they are subject to relapses in some cases, and they do not practice them for many reasons, some of which are related to social, psychological, health, or economic purposes, and the other part is due to weakness of determination, lack of motivation, and lethargy of the inner driving force within the self. Such a situation represents a relapse in the system of behavior that is an indicator of the value system underlying the consciousness of the female university students in the Meccan community. These behaviors represent an indicator of values, not the values themselves.
The table also shows that some of the behaviors mentioned in the study tool are practiced with an "occasionally" rating, meaning that they are practiced once and left other times. These behaviors are the content of items 191 to 199, i.e., nine items out of the rest, and they represent 4.5% of the total behaviors included in the study tool. These behaviors are: I attend learning circles, I get up a portion of the night, I am diligent in memorizing the Qur'an, I visit and check on my neighbor, I attend remembrance gatherings, I teach the Qur'an, I go on the errands of my neighbor, I strive to meet the needs of the widow and the divorced, I have performed the pilgrimage. Upon reflecting on these behaviors, we find that they are in the context of religious values that represent: knowledge, mercy, and manliness, and they are values that fall within the context of religious values with daily personal and social interactions.
However, the female university students in the Meccan community do not adhere to practicing them in reality in their daily personal and social life, or in some cases, as they are not practiced permanently or mostly, as if they are not of the concern or desires of the students.
The female university students in the Meccan community practice these behaviors to a high degree, as if they are not connected to their general practice, nor are they related to the activities that make up their functional roles within the university campus and the Meccan community.
The table also shows that some of the behaviors mentioned in the study tool are practiced with a "rarely" rating, meaning that the students practice them in their daily religious and interactional lives to a small degree, and it is one item that constitutes 0.5% of the total items in the study tool.
As for the results that appeared in Tables 11, 14, and 15, which are related to the variables of social and economic status and place of residence, the views of the female students in the sample are close, which did not result in any statistically significant differences between the averages, which means that these intermediary variables were unable to create clear differences in the students' assessments of their religious, interactional, and humanitarian behaviors within the university campus and the Meccan community. The diversity of social status does not constitute a variation in religious and humanitarian behavioral practices, and the same applies to the variable of economic status and the variable of place of residence, as they all indicate a convergence of views because religious and humanitarian issues are almost doctrinal religious matters that are obligatory on them all.
As for the results that appeared in Table 12, which are related to the variable of the college, the analysis of variance and the F-test for the students' averages showed that there are statistically significant differences in the female students' self-assessments of their interactional behaviors in their daily lives within the Meccan community at Umm Al-Qura University, due to the difference in the college, as the value (degree of significance <) 0.05. Accordingly, the Scheffe test was used to compare the averages to find these differences (Table 13), where it was found that there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance 0.05 between the College of Sharia and the Colleges of Education and Social Sciences, in favor of the College of Sharia. There are also statistically significant differences at the level of significance 0.05 between the College of Da'wah and Fundamentals of Religion and the Colleges of Education and Social Sciences, in favor of the College of Da'wah and Fundamentals of Religion.
This means that the students of the Colleges of Sharia and Da'wah and Fundamentals of Religion have increased their awareness of these behaviors and have increased their level of practice within the university and Meccan community, because their specialization has helped in that, as if the specialization increases the practice of religious and humanitarian behaviors.
The generally close standard deviations in the averages for all variables are the product of the unified cultural framework that brings the perceptions and concepts of the students closer to the set of religious and humanitarian behaviors presented to them, as they represent an obligatory culture that the Islamic society believes in, and our students are part of this society who embody this culture in their perceptions and practices, thanks to the socialization based on the teachings of our noble religion in our Meccan society.
Conclusions
In light of the results reached by the researcher in this study, we can draw some conclusions, in the light of which we present some recommendations as follows:
• Female university students in all colleges maintain about 65.5% of the daily behaviors they deal with in their social lives, whether the behaviors that connect between man and his Lord or between man and his fellow human being.
• There is a regression in the behaviors of female university students in the Meccan community, such as forgiveness, restraint of anger, aversion to vain and entertainment, kinship ties, feeding the neighbor, asceticism, and reconciliation, and this may be due to the fact that female university students sometimes tend towards material life and self-love, and socialization also plays a role in this.
• Female university students in the Meccan community do not give importance to the religious behaviors that are related to memorizing the Qur'an, teaching the Qur'an, attending remembrance and knowledge circles, checking on the neighbor and striving to meet their needs and visiting them, and striving to meet the needs of the widow, and this may be due to the fact that female university students are rushing after their physical requirements and are concerned with the material aspect and following communication channels at the expense of the religious and social aspect.
• Despite the introduction of some variables in this study to know their impact on the assessment of female university students in the Meccan community for their daily religious and interactional behaviors, they did not show significant differences between their assessments of their behaviors according to the variable of social status, economic status, place of residence, age and type of work, as if the credal behaviors impose themselves on the female university students in the Muslim Meccan community to the same degree of perception, concept, or practice in social reality, as they are obligatory faith requirements for all individuals, despite their varied characteristics of variables, but this did not result in a variation in their perceptions to judge their behaviors towards religious and humanitarian interactions; because their culture and attitudes towards these behaviors are the same, with the exception of the college variable, as it was found that the students in the Colleges of Da'wah and Fundamentals of Religion and Sharia distinguished themselves from the students of the Colleges of Education and Social Sciences, and this may be due to the fact that the students of the Colleges of Sharia, Da'wah and Fundamentals of Religion have more courses that support these behaviors than other colleges by virtue of their specialization.
Recommendations
We can present some recommendations in light of the previous conclusions:
1. Developing a system of religious, social, and economic values in line with the value system of the Muslim society and its basic references through educational and religious institutions, and working to teach them in a way that suits the needs of the students and their different levels.
2. Teaching moral education at all levels of general and university education in a way that suits the requirements and needs of the students, and in harmony with the renewed human societies in their daily social lives.
3. Educating students that values are an intellectual culture that directs human behavior in the daily social reality, so that they can choose the daily behaviors associated with values in social life and adhere to them during their actions and practices with others in reality.
