Abstract

The population consisted of all the (18250) Saudi mothers of female senior students at PNU for the academic year 2016/2017. The questionnaire is applied to a randomly selected sample of (377) Saudi mothers. The study concluded that the role of the Saudi women in preventing terrorism is realized by helping their children to choose their friends, encouraging them to adhere to the virtues of Islam neither excessively nor deficiently, telling them that Islam calls to cooperation, peace and accepting others regardless of their nationality or religion, and avoiding repression and oppression in socialization, at work and towards their society. The study made some recommendations that may contribute to preventing terrorism and achieving security and peace in the society.

Summary

Introduction

And school are considered two of the most important institutions responsible for promoting awareness because they are primarily responsible for raising up children. Their major responsibility is the socialization and education of children so that they would become able to serve themselves and their society and be good citizens. Terrorism takes a great deal of the world attention because it is a phenomenon of great danger at the society. It leads to insecurity, destruction and violation of property, sacrilege, killing and kidnapping safe civilians and threatening their lives. School seeks bringing up children and youth mentally, emotionally and socially which would prepare them to be good citizens in life (AlHawshan, 2009)
