ISLAMIC SEX EDUCATION IN THE FAMILY AS AN EFFORT TO STRENGTHEN FAMILY CHARACTER AND RESILIENCE

Abstract

Education is not limited by the subject matter to be studied. Islam itself has no boundaries in its study. Even taboo subjects are discussed openly in Islam, preventing misunderstandings in their application. One of the most important topics in Islamic discussions is the family. The family is the spearhead of the movement of the nation, state, and even religion. It is from here that national figures are born, and a good family structure will impact the sustainability of a nation and its religion. One very important topic in this family is sex education, because if they have good knowledge about this, they will also be good to those around them. This research will discover how character development actually occurs within the family, especially the role of parents in providing sex education to their children, thus creating family resilience. The research uses a library study method, namely searching for and reviewing several studies that have been conducted and published in various journals that can be accounted for. In this study, all the journals the researchers found showed that sex education conducted at home is highly effective in improving family resilience in this era of globalization. Sexual information received at home is easier for children to understand than information received on social media or through peer groups.
