Ma`rifat

The most important goal of the divine religion is to guide and educate human beings to attain ultimate felicity, which is achieved only through self-cultivation and education in all dimensions. Faithful individuals are nurtured through correct education, and consequently, a healthy society is formed. As one of the dimensions of human existence, sexuality requires proper guidance and education. As a branch of human education, sexual education involves providing individuals with cognitive, motivational, and practical strategies regarding gender and the sexual instinct, and its correct guidance and proper management to achieve a chaste life and human perfection. Given the important and sensitive position of adolescence and youth, the focus of the present research is on the sexual education of adolescents and youth. Using the descriptive-analytical and critical method and examining the content of the Sustainable Development Agenda (2030), this study has identified numerous contradictions between this document and Islamic verses and narrations concerning sexual education, including contradictions with the primacy of family, the principle of chastity and modesty, explicit religious teachings prohibiting any form of sexual deviation, and the sexual education of children based on religious teachings.
