Abstract The Sexual behavior before marriage is one of the most important sexual behavior taken into consideration by different religions and school of thoughts. This article, using a descriptive-analytical research method, aimed at investigating the dos and don’ts of the sexual behavior in the holy Quran, the Old Testament, and the New Testament and discussing their different and similar viewpoints on the issue at hand. All these three books emphasized the chastity and continence, and also restraint from incontinence and sexual relationship before marriage. Also, all of them placed emphasis on avoiding homosexuality, masturbation, lechery, wearing make-up among alien girls and boys. The main differences among these books is that there is no clear ban on homosexuality and no mention of masturbation in the Old Testament; however, in the Jewish religious laws some agree and some other disagree with the women’s masturbation. In addition, sodomy, masturbation, and mosaheghe (women’s masturbation) were not mentioned at all, but they have been completely banned in the Quran, and some harsh punishments were considered for the wrongdoers in both this world and the hereafter.

This article is a comparative study of the infallibility of prophets as well as its nature and meaning in the Holy Qur’an and Testaments. While both acknowledge the infallibility of prophets in reception and dissemination of the divine message, the Holy Qur’an gives some instances of tark al-awlā (literally abandoning that which was better) committed by the prophets, and Testaments consider them to be prone to sins.
