Islam va Pazhuheshhaye Tarbiyati

In an era where traditional penal systems face manifest failures in offender rehabilitation, Islamic jurisprudence, with its rich treasury of educational doctrines, offers a novel perspective for transforming correctional methods. This research proceeds with the aim of discovering and elucidating "non-penal educational strategies" across the three domains of cognition, inclination, and behavior, as an Islamic response to this contemporary need. In the cognitive domain, strategies such as inviting rational thought, eschatological reflection, and admonition are examined as tools for reconstructing offenders' worldviews. In the affective domain, the cultivation of faith, repentance, warning and glad tidings, and non-penal reward and punishment are analyzed as internal motivators for attitudinal change. Finally, in the behavioral domain, the influence of moral exemplars and character development is emphasized as cornerstones of practical transformation. This descriptive-analytical research benefits from findings in educational sciences and psychology, particularly within the fields of behaviorism, cognitive therapy, and motivational psychology. By combining and synthesizing these resources, non-penal educational components are extracted and analyzed across the three cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains. The findings indicate that these strategies can serve as an efficient alternative to punitive methods, laying the groundwork for a profound transformation in the behavior and attitudes of offenders.
