Abstract

This research addresses the concept of crime in light of the Holy Quran, in terms of definition, types, punishments, causes, and prevention. It seeks to clarify the Quranic approach in addressing the criminal phenomenon as a social, moral, and legal phenomenon. The research relied on the inductive analytical method of relevant Quranic texts, with reference to books of interpretation and Islamic jurisprudence. The research concluded that the Holy Quran presented an integrated system to reduce crime based on doctrinal, moral, and legislative reform together.
