Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, for the End is for those who are righteous, peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions. Rumor is a social phenomenon that exists in all societies in both ancient and modern times. It is a syndrome that threatens individuals, groups, institutions, communities and nations. At the beginning of the Islamic era, the incident of invented falsehood was carried out by the hypocrites. It almost had a significant impact on the morale of some Muslims until when the Almighty Allah revealed the Noble Quran showing the innocence of Aisha (mother of believers). The research problem lies in the lack of knowledge on the moral approach to confront and restrict the spread of rumors. This study aims to determine the moral approach established by the Noble Quran in dealing with rumors through the incident of invented falsehood that appeared in Surat al-Nur. Inductive and analytical approach was used to address this issue. The study concluded that in order to protect the society from this deadly syndrome, Islam has established a strong moral approach to confront rumors and restrict its spread and influence in society. As stated in Surah Al-Nour, the following steps are taken; First, good thought amongst the believer. Second, non-circulation of false stories, Third, Establishing evidence and proof, Fourth, tracing the source of the rumor. Fifth, strict warning of punishment in this world and the Hereafter.
