Abstract: Self-regulation is a critical skill in moral and behavioural development, encompassing the ability to control thoughts, emotions, and actions in alignment with values and long-term goals. Within the framework of Islamic education, the process of nurturing self-regulation goes beyond behavioural control, emphasizing the development of the soul and character in accordance with divine principles. This study explores the pivotal role of parents in fostering self-regulation through Islamic educational practices, examining the alignment between traditional Islamic methods and modern self-regulation theories. Drawing on Quranic teachings and contemporary research, the study identifies key elements such as reinforcement, role modelling, repetition, and social interaction as essential components of effective self-regulation development. The paper further addresses the challenges parents face, including societal pressures, the dynamic parent-child relationship, the influence of modern technology, and evolving family structures. By integrating Islamic principles with contemporary educational insights, this study highlights a comprehensive approach to nurturing self-regulation, empowering children to navigate life with integrity and purpose while contributing positively to society. This research underscores the importance of parental involvement in shaping morally grounded, self-regulated individuals, emphasizing that such efforts are foundational to achieving both worldly success and spiritual fulfilment.
