The use of coercion in moral education and its conflict with moral independence is an important issue in modern education that originated from the Enlightenment period. When compared with Western education, Islamic teachings, especially in the field of moral education, seems at first glance that the use of the coercion method is not rebutted. This may lead some people to conclude that Islam has accepted the use of coercion, or agrees with it, at least, in some cases. This article compares the issue of using coercion as a moral educational method in both modern education and Islam. It argues that Islamic education promotes both the concept of ‘persuasion’ and ‘caring’ and establishes its rules in a way that are far from coercion. However, the extent to which Muslims support the general principle of prohibition of coercion would depend on the interpretations that different Islamic traditions have provided for some Islamic statements, including the recommendation for the use of coercion in worship.
