Social problems related to sex, especially transgender problems, often cause concern among the Muslim community in Malaysia. In fact, transgender people in Malaysia move through various mediums so that the enforcers face problems in their efforts to curb their development. Some communities also see transgender as a form of normalization that does not bring negative impact. However, Islam takes the issue of transgender very seriously and always puts strict guidelines so that transgender problems do not occur at all. Therefore, education on sexual issues to the Muslim community needs to be streamlined in line with Islamic demands through the text of the Quran, hadith and classical and contemporary Islamic scholars. This study aims to identify a model of Islamic sexual education that focuses on efforts to combat the development of transgender problems. The data collection of this study used documentation method which was then analyzed using content analysis method. The findings of the study found that Islam is very strict in forbidding the involvement of its followers in social problems, especially transgender people. Sexual education based on the Islamic framework needs to be disclosed to the community in order for this maqasid syariah (objectives of Shariah) to be achieved.
