The aim of the current research is to identify the educational role of teachers of Islamic studies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in developing students' awareness of combating electronic terrorism, in addition to identifying the obstacles that hinder the realization of this role from the teachers' point of view. In order to achieve this goal, the descriptive survey approach was used, and the questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The research community was represented in all teachers of Islamic studies in Taif Governorate, and a random sample of (295) male and female teachers was selected from among them. The results showed that teachers of Islamic studies play their role to a very large extent in developing students' awareness of combating electronic terrorism. The results also showed that the most important obstacles facing Islamic studies teachers in performing their role are the lack of administrative guidance, their lack of cognitive, technical and communication skills, and the weak content of the curriculum on the topic of combating electronic terrorism. The results also showed that there were differences between the sample members in the performance of their role according to the job variable (type) in favor of the female teachers, and according to the educational degree variable in favor of bachelor’s and graduate studies, and according to the experience variable in favor of those with experience that ranged between 6 to 15 years. In light of these results, the research recommended the necessity of meeting the training needs of male and female teachers, and allocating topics on combating electronic terrorism in Islamic studies courses in public education.
