This study examines the construction of child education in the perspective of QS. At-Tahrim verse 6 and compares it with the realities of family education practices in the coastal community of Indramayu Regency, West Java. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-comparative method. Data were collected through field observation, in-depth interviews with families in the coastal villages of Indramayu, and literature review of classical and contemporary Quranic commentaries. The findings indicate that QS. At-Tahrim verse 6 emphasizes the obligation of parents to protect their family from hellfire through faith-based education, moral cultivation, and religious habituation. However, field data reveal that coastal families in Indramayu tend to prioritize economic fulfillment over formal religious education due to the dominant maritime livelihood culture. This research highlights the urgency of contextualizing Quranic values within local socio-cultural settings, particularly in strengthening the role of the family as the first educational institution. Educational implications and recommendations for Islamic education programs in coastal communities are discussed.
