The effect of bullying covers some conditions of psychology, physic, and adjustment either for bullies, bully-victims or whoever witnesses the action (bystander). The cases of bullying more problematic if the action occurs in Islamic-based schools. In the Holy Quran, there are 12 verses which correlate to enmity (i’tada ya’tadi). Besides, it also has 39 verses about scolding (istahzaa yastahziu). Thus, actions relating to harassment should be decreased more than non-Islamic-based schools.
