Analyzing the Impact of Re-Organizing… D. Kibirango & S. H. Sajid (179


            Individual Impacts Based on               2. Modesty
            Religion  and  Spirituality  in           Religion      and      spirituality
            Uganda's Higher Education System          foster a sense of modesty that
                                                      aligns  with  the  cultural  ethos
            1. Dignity and Respect                    in  Uganda,  encompassing
            Religion and spirituality promote         aspects  such  as  appropriate
            and advocate individual respect           attire, deference to elders, and

            as mentioned in the Qur’an:               humility.
               “Indeed, we have dignified                Gilani  (2008),  contends
               the  children  of  Adam…”.             that  modesty  engenders  a

               (Qur’an, 17: 70)
                                                      comprehension  of  the  divine
               This means that no one has             splendor  and  serves  as  the
            a  right  to  violate  others'            foundational       element      for

            rights. Each one enjoys equal             other      virtues     such      as
            rights. That’s why respect and            reverence,  piety,  and  a  sense
            dignity     are     among       the       of  accountability  before  the

            principles  of  a  religiously            divine.  This  sentiment  is
            based higher education system.            echoed  in  the  Qur’an,  which
               Thus,  by  establishing  this          expounds:

            system        upon       religion,           “The  servants  of  the  All-
            individual  rights  and  dignity             beneficent  are  those  who
            will     be     preserved      and           walk  humbly  on  the  earth,

            promoted.  As  a  result,  vices             and  when  the  ignorant
            like  discrimination  based  on              address        them,       say,
            gender,  tribe,  and  so  on  will           ‘Peace’”. (Qur’an, 25: 63)

            be eliminated.
