Fundamental ideas of Morality in Islam

Three unwanted and disliked actions are also mentioned by holy book. These are immorality, cruelty and bad conduct with fellow beings. The verse number of 16:90 of Quran suitably deal with these ideas.

Justice or adl is basic and vital element of Islamic social system. Justice adl includes the broadest form of providing what is another’s equitable due, without any bias whatever, even if it means providing of justice to one’s opponent contrary to advantage to one’s family. In the eyes of God, justice must be guaranteed at all costs. This is the notion of developing system of communal impartiality that is preserved within rights and duties of persons upon each other. Muslims are enjoined to speak the truth, everywhere they are, and howsoever they might be disturbed.

Good manner (ahsan) is the execution of good actions by socializing with others in standings of compassion, empathy and kind-heartedness. It is the creation of bonds of love, kindness and understanding that allows us to comprehend another’s difficulty without clarification, and to aid and reinforce without being enquired. It is the emotions that wants no appreciation and that humiliates us before God and stimulates us to acknowledge Him abundantly.

Spending in provision of families as well as neighbors, helpers, tourists and walkers, and even foreigners, is another doctrine. Our prosperity in this world is possessed by God, and we are but simple guardians. While we have the authorization to consume this capital for others to a sensible extent without being wasters, we are obligatory to devote a large share on others who may need it for their wants and not own as much. This expenditure must not be in the kind of sharing out with a sense of advantage, but with a life-force.

Mankind are cautioned not to pander in three sins, which are contradictory to the values quoted above and will loosen all good performances. The first are wicked acts of infidelity, rape and others in the same kind. Such activities are corrupt because they are in reply to improper needs of man, abusing another person and keeping himself away from the cleansing of soul, and scattering vice in society. They avert man from offering time and consideration to God and His sanctifications, and induce him to surplus his potential of performing best.

Second sin relates to evil actions and practices. In which people exploit rights and obligations of other, defame honor and life of others. Third sin is rebellion or oppression against established rules of religion and state. Corruption, fraud, misuse of power of public and abuse of public office for personal gain fall in this category.
Promotion of moral values and ethics is mandatory for healthy growth of society. Without ethics, a society is unable to flourish. Current decline of communities is due to lack of morality.
