Studies on nutrition from a Quranic perspective have largely focused on normative aspects regarding halal (permissible) and tayyib (wholesome) food and health, whereas research linking Quranic nutritional values to the Islamic educational framework as a process for shaping awareness and behavior remains underdeveloped. This study aims to analyze nutritional values in the Quran using a thematic exegesis (tafsir maudhu’i) approach and to explain their relevance to Islamic education. Employing a qualitative, library-based research method, the study analyzes Quranic verses concerning food, consumption, balance, and bodily maintenance. The results reveal a conceptual link between Quranic values, nutritional knowledge, awareness, habituation, and healthy consumption behavior, forming an educational sequence oriented toward Islamic character building. These findings are derived from a synthesis of literature and thematic exegesis rather than empirical model testing. Unlike previous empirical studies that measured the impact of nutrition education on eating habits, this study contributes a conceptual framework explaining the role of Quranic nutritional values within Islamic education. This study serves as a theoretical foundation for future research on the implementation of nutrition education based on Islamic values.
