Abstract

One of the most important topics in the field of criminology is “reformation and treatment of criminals”, which nowadays mostly means rehabilitation and carrying out the necessary activities to return them to a healthy social life; This therapy is not only focused on psychological therapy; rather, it includes all technical and professional education and consulting measures, etc. Analyzing this important task in the Holy Quran is the subject of this article, which tries to provide a general view of the important aspects of this discussion by extracting and analyzing related Quranic statements and narratives. The findings of the research indicate that the Quran, due to its attributes of “healing” and “mercy”, its various dimensions such as words (recitation, reading and listening) and content (rich non-Quranic knowledge and teachings) can be used as a model in the treatment of criminals should be mentioned along with other human models, which, of course, have significant characteristics in comparison. The exact extraction of the foundations and principles and mechanisms and methods of reforming the Quran and their practical testing require many other pieces of research.
