Abstract

 
 Chastity (Ifaf) is one of the significant moral teachings in the Holy Quran that has considerable aspects. Following the virtue of chastity has uplifting social and individual effects so studying the issue and its aspects are the matters of importance. Thus, I aim to develop a statement analysis of chastity in Surah al-Nisa. Applying the technique of scientific content analysis, I would analyze and assess the statements containing the issue of chastity, classify subjects, and make a logical pattern based on the issue. Results indicated that Chastity in this chapter has considerable aspects in various fields of manner, speech, finance, Self-control, and both man and woman should obey its rules. Chastity is not only defined in terms of women's manners but due to the general rule of human purity, should be applied equally to men and women. The quantitative analysis reveals that chastity has a high frequency in the statements related to manners, so chastity is a virtue that should be represented in manners.
