Abstract

Lifestyle of the Muslim youth nowadays has been challenged by manifold temptations, brought about by internal as well as external causes. To be identified as modern and up-to-date, many of them easily allure to modern lifestyles that recognize less religious boundaries. Observing chastity or ‘iffah has no longer been considered as relevant. Negative impacts befall the individual as well as society at various level due to non-conformities to the ethical value of chastity. Concern with remedial approach to the modern and future ethical crisis, Hamka, throughout his writings underscores the importance of chastity in thoughts, actions and, behaviour particularly in the context of Muslim relationships with others. The primary aim of this paper is to highlight the notion of chastity, challenges to observe the virtue in present time, the importance of chastity and ways of preserving and contextualizing the virtue in the light of Hamka’s wisdom.
