Integrasi nilai-nilai Islam dalam pencegahan stunting di Indonesia: Analisis Surah An-Nisa' ayat 9 sebagai landasan pendekatan holistik

Stunting is a serious global health challenge, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, where the prevalence is still high, around 30-40%. This condition not only affects children's physical growth, but also impacts cognitive development, academic achievement, and economic capabilities in adulthood, thereby contributing to a continuous cycle of poverty. Despite the implementation of various medical and nutritional interventions, stunting rates remain high, indicating the need for a more holistic and integrated approach. This research aims to examine the relevance and priority of Surah An-Nisa' Verse 9 in the context of stunting prevention in Indonesia with a focus on the integration of Islamic religious values in public health interventions. The method used was qualitative with a thematic interpretation approach, where data was obtained through a study of Al-Qur'an interpretation literature as well as interviews with health and religious experts in TK Darun Najah Kedemungan Village, Pasuruan City. The research results show that internalizing the values of Surah An-Nisa' Verse 9 can increase parents' awareness and responsibility for children's health and nutrition, which has significant potential in reducing the prevalence of stunting. Integrating religious values in public health programs has great potential to strengthen the effectiveness of stunting prevention interventions, making them more culturally and spiritually relevant to Indonesian society.
