Pedophilia has emerged as a grave societal concern affecting children today. This issue continues to grow annually worldwide, including in Malaysia. Defined as a psychological disorder, pedophilia entails sexual attraction towards prepubescent or early pubescent children of both genders. Despite various efforts to combat this problem, the results have been largely inadequate, with a significant concern being the high recidivism rate among offenders. This study aims to explore a new approach to address pedophilia by developing a prevention and treatment education model based on psychospiritual principles drawn from the Quran and Sunnah. Psychospiritual methods, known for addressing moral and psychological challenges, have shown promising outcomes in treating issues like drug addiction. However, their application to pedophilia remains largely unexplored. This qualitative study employs a document analysis method, and data are organized thematically. Further research is recommended to investigate the efficacy of psychospiritual interventions based on Islamic teachings in addressing both treatment and prevention aspects of pedophilia.
