Islam has provided certain precepts for prevention from corruption which if practiced by individuals in the society, many corruptions would be prevented. We can trace the roots of corruption back into the following of carnal desires, denial of divine orders and avoiding justice. The current study uses content analysis method to assay the issue of prevention of corruption based on Islamic jurisprudential principles and discusses such titles as prayer, avoidance of forbidden affairs, etc., as the factors that can reduce corruption in the society.
