THE INCIDENTS OF OBSCENITY AND NUDITY AND CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN PAKISTANI SOCIETY AND ITS SOLUTION IS IN THE LIGHT OF THE QUR'AN AND HADITHS

Many crimes are happening in the present day. The most heinous of these crimes is child abuse. Incidents of killing children after sexual abuse are common in our nominally Islamic society. Moreover, videos and pictures are also taken during child abuse. These videos are then posted on social media. Both Muslim and non-Muslim communities are victims of this barbaric act of child abuse. Reasons for increasing crime rates in Pakistan include psychological disorders, desire to fulfill sexual desires, poverty, unemployment and religious apathy. Such heinous acts are becoming common in Pakistan day by day. According to Islamic jurisprudence, rape is a punishable crime. Holy Prophet (PBUH) himself punished the criminals for such crimes. Once, during the time of the Prophet, a Jew crushed a girl's head between two stones. When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was informed of this incident, he (PBUH) called the Jew who confessed his crime. Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told his companions to punish him by crushing his head with a stone. From this tradition it can be inferred that the criminals involved in such heinous crimes should be punished publicly so that this monstrous crime can be eradicated from the society. The purpose of writing this research paper is to explain the reasons for the increase in the rate of sexual abuse of children and its elimination in the light of Fiqh al-Sirah. Descriptive and analytical methods were followed in this research paper.
