Abstract
This research tests the role that religious beliefs, rituals and values plays on the corruption in Iraq. Furthermore, the research assesses ethical and moral ideals pertinent to religion, in the Iraqi educational sector. Correlation analysis and linear regression help assess the relations among the study’s constructs and variables. The hypotheses tested by multiple regression technique with the help of SPSS software. Grounded in the data collected from 600 employees, the results affirm that religious beliefs have negative association with levels of corruption. Prayers in religious institution are influenced by the clergy, which serves as a set of life instructions to avoid corrupt practices. The generalizability of our results might be limited because we surveyed workers from a single sector; this calls for future studies to verify the stability of our findings across another sectors and firms.

Summary
Corruption is seen as one of the bad behaviors, in view of this, international organizations, governments and donors are looking for mechanisms to fight it. Through the historical pattern of influence that sophisticated in different settings between religious institutions and state, religion could affect corruption levels In religious practice such as Protestantism, the religious institutions may play an important role in denouncing and monitoring abuses by state employees. Religious leaders often interact with individuals belonging to the same community, to provide strict guidance on behavior and lifestyles [9] as well as teaching them to prevent believers from participating in corrupt activities [11]. As long as the individual increases the prayer level, the probability of avoiding corrupt practices is high through the instructions and directives from the clergy group on the basis of the sacred texts
