Abstract

Education is the process of nurturing and activating various human talents in its various dimensions with predetermined principles and plans, to make human being continue his growth and development in the path of ideal perfection and values, through a free and conscious movement with inner acceptance. Education is divided into different types from one perspective, one of which is physical education. The main question is what is the relationship between the rules of Qur'anic jurisprudence and physical education? In other words, have the rules of Qur'anic jurisprudence been legislated in such a way that they are also in line with physical education, or have they only paid attention to spiritual and intellectual education? The current study answers this question based on descriptive-analytical method and library sources and has achieved the following findings: 1. the jurisprudence of the Qur'an has three bases: evolutionary authority, individual ability, and the nature of distinguishing good from evil and right from wrong. 2. The Holy Quran has introduced some rulings for physical education in three dimensions: nutrition, health, and exercise. 3. According to the Qur'an, the purity and harmlessness of nutrition is the criterion for nutrition to have a healthy physical education. Therefore, there are no rulings that cause harm to the body from the Qur'anic point of view, except in cases of major conflict such as jihad. The jurisprudential-Qur'anic approach can indicate the innovation and importance of the present study.
