This study aims to analyze the presentation of Islamic teachings in Pakistani television dramas, providing insights into the portrayal of religious themes within this medium. Given the significant role television dramas play in shaping public perceptions, exploring the representation of Islamic teachings is crucial. Previous research in this domain has been limited, warranting a comprehensive examination to understand how these dramas contribute to cultural and religious narratives. A qualitative approach is employed, involving content analysis of select Pakistani television dramas. Themes related to Islamic teachings, cultural nuances, and their impact on viewers are examined. The study also considers the historical and societal context influencing the portrayal of religious elements in these dramas. The findings reveal diverse representations of Islamic teachings in Pakistani television dramas, ranging from accurate depictions to potential misinterpretations. The influence of societal and cultural factors on the portrayal of religious themes is evident. The study identifies patterns and trends in the presentation of Islamic teachings in this entertainment medium. Based on the results, it is recommended that content creators, producers, and policymakers collaborate to ensure a more nuanced and accurate representation of Islamic teachings in television dramas. This includes incorporating input from religious scholars and fostering awareness about the responsibility associated with depicting religious content on mainstream media. Additionally, encouraging diverse perspectives and fostering a balanced portrayal of Islamic teachings can contribute to a more informed and culturally sensitive viewership.
