Education for Sexuality in Light of Surah An-Nur: Guidance on Ethical Behaviour and Conduct

Abstract

This paper examines sexuality education from an Islamic perspective, focusing on the moral guidance found in Surah An-Nur. It highlights Qur’anic principles of modesty, chastity, and community responsibility, and contextualizes them for contemporary challenges such as globalization, digital exposure, and delayed marriage. By integrating these teachings into educational frameworks, the study proposes a culturally responsive approach to sexuality education that promotes ethical behavior, mutual respect, and resilience among youth. The findings demonstrate that Surah An-Nur offers timeless guidance for developing curricula that are both pedagogically effective and rooted in Islamic values.
