Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Zubair, Dr. Hafiz Hussain Azhar

Abstract
Bullying is an intentional aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is carried out repeatedly or has the potential to be repeated, over time. It occurs within an interpersonal relationship and can take many forms. In many respects, study on bullying prevention is still in its infancy. Although scholars have documented success of some comprehensive programs in reducing bullying but we still have much to learn about new aspects of preventing bullying.

This research will explore the causes of bullying defined by Islam and lay the practices prescribed by Islamic Sharia for preventing bullying.
