MORALITY IN ISLAM

Prophet Muhammad said: “I was sent to accomplish good morality.”

 

To forgive others, truthfulness in word and action, the act of charity, to salute others, humility, no Ghibah (not to speak bad about someone when they are not there to defend themselves), no Namiima (not to tell anyone the bad things another person has said about them), generosity, and to be able to bear pain.

 

Respect for parents assumes an important place in the Islamic moral system. Muslims are reminded that their parents are the reason why they were given life.

“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to your parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them, but address them in terms of honor. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on them your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.’ ”
The Quran, 17: 23-24

“And we have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents: his mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and in two years was his weaning: Show gratitude to me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination.”
The Quran, 31: 14
