Chastity, as an innate and trans-gender virtue, is recognized as a human value not only in Islamic teachings but also in all religions. In Islamic texts, chastity is considered one of the most key components of achieving human happiness. Chastity means controlling oneself and behavior against temptations and is formed by numerous positive and negative components. These components play an important role in the formation of a chaste lifestyle. According to the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, chastity is practiced both by promoting and strengthening positive components and by limiting inappropriate behaviors. This article collects data using documentary and library methods and explains the positive components of the chastity system in Islamic teachings with a descriptive-analytical method. The findings show that chastity as a system is a network of related components. These components include wisdom, zeal, timely marriage, management of clothing, and meeting emotional and sexual needs within the family. The way children are raised also plays a vital role in this system, because proper upbringing can make the young generation chaste and responsible individuals. Chastity, as a human value, causes women and men to become active and valuable beings in the context of the family and society.
