Pendidikan Seksual Menurut Surah Al-Nur: Peranannya Dalam Mencegah Ketagihan Pornografi

Sexual Education According to Surah Al-Nur: Its Role In Preventing Pornography Addiction

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of Quran-based sexual education and its application in preventing pornography addiction within society. In this study, the researcher will discuss on several verses from Surah Al-Nur that contain fundamental guidelines for sexual education in Islam, aimed at preserving dignity and self-respect, particularly in addressing the issue of pornography. As a backdrop to this research, data from a 2018 study conducted by Malaysian Against Pornography (MAP) revealed that an estimated 80% of children aged 10 to 17 had been exposed to pornography. This global issue, if left unchecked, can lead to addiction and contribute to other forms of sexual misconduct such as adultery, unwanted pregnancies, extramarital sex, and more. Pornography addiction also exerts a negative influence on emotional and physical health, disrupting an individual's functioning within the family and society. To tackle this issue, sexual education from an Islamic perspective must be implemented from an early age as a preventative measure against falling into the trap of pornography. The methodology used in this research involves content analysis of various tafsir books and a review of relevant scholarly studies on this topic. The research findings demonstrate that Islamic Shariah provides clear guidance and principles in the realm of sexual education, aiming to preserve one's dignity and prevent involvement in pornography. These principles include lowering one's gaze, maintaining chastity, and promoting marriage as a means of upholding one's honor.
