In this research paper, researchers try to reflect upon the Qur’anic instructions for safeguarding dignity of chaste women while focusing on the concurrency of the teachings from a hermeneutic framework. Modern issues of mass communication are shaded with recent incidents of misinformation, disinformation and misinformation and we seek wisdom from Divine teachings to curb these aspects in the society. Fake news and false allegations on media platforms are common in contemporary times and efforts are ongoing from concerned authorities to eliminate this problem. In this regard the perspective of Quranic studies is necessary to explore that how divine verses are guiding the humanity for avoiding any harms especially to the women. This study is the account of our projective reading of Surah An-Noor that while dealing with the subject of safeguarding dignity of chaste women whispers about strategies of psychological resilience towards information disorder. This paper is our initiative to research the Divine instructions from the perspective of communication analysts and a believing Muslims.
