Concept of Ethics in Islam: A Conceptual Study In the Light of Quran and Sunnah
No full textThe Ethical philosophy of Islam is based on the knowledge of good and evil or in other words the standard of distinguishing good from evil is a part of the sapiential sense of man. This sapiential sense includes, besides many other concepts, moral concepts like justice, truthfulness, honesty, helping the weak, freedom in one's personal matters etc. It is quite possible though; that there is a difference in the application of these concepts in practical life situations, yet the concepts themselves have never been questioned and are, and have mostly remained, universally accepted. It is for this reason that ethical values like justice, honesty, trustworthiness and truthfulness etc. have never even been questioned philosophically, even if there is a considerable practical deviation from these values or a huge difference in the practical application of these values. Islamic ethics is the ethical system formed by the teachings of the Quran and explained by the Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) through his actions and words. In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight the fundamental concept of ethics in Islam in the light of its primary sources.ie. Quran and Sunnah
