| description | There is no any iota of uncertainty that ethics occupies an integral part of man as a distinct creature honored to be the
vicegerent on earth. The issue of ethics is as old as man on earth. From the dawn of civilizations, scholars (philosopher
and thinkers) have approached the concept of ethics differently with no substantial unanimity reached. This article is an
attempt to address ethics in an Islamic perspective. With the aid of an exploratory method, the study delved into the
divine revelations (the Qur’an and Sunnah) and the interpretations of Islamic philosophers and intellectuals with
regards to the concept of ethics. The findings showed that the majority of Islamic scholars view ethics as morality, while
others understand it as the intellectual power with which man distinguishes between the nobles and vices. Moreover,
through the study of concept of ethics, its scope, significance, principles, sources and characteristics, the divine
revelations (the Qur’an and Sunnah) were found as the original sources of ethics. |
