In Islam, Sheng-Ta, the concept of morality is deeply rooted in the belief in God. 🏵️🏵️🏵️
Muslims believe that God is the ultimate source of all moral values and that these values are inherent in His nature.
This belief is based on the Quranic verse,
"Indeed, God commands justice, the doing of good, and giving to relatives. And He forbids indecency, transgression, and wrongdoing. He admonishes you that perhaps you will take heed" (16:90).
However, Muslims also believe that moral values are not limited to believers but are universal and apply to all of humanity.
This is evident in the Prophetic tradition, as the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Whoever believes in God and the Last Day should speak a word of justice (i.e., truth) or keep silent" (Bukhari).
The importance of morality in Islam is further emphasized by the fact that it is a prerequisite for faith.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Faith (Iman) consists of six (principles): to believe in God, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgment, and to believe in predestination, both good and bad" (Bukhari).
The sixth principle, predestination, refers to the belief that everything that happens is by God's will, and that good and bad outcomes are both predetermined.
In Islam, morality is not just about following religious commands but also about treating others with kindness, compassion, and justice.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best among you are those who have the best character" (Tirmidhi).
This statement highlights the importance of character development and moral values in Islam.
In the end, Islam teaches that morality is not just a religious obligation but also a universal value that applies to all of humanity.
Muslims believe that moral values are inherent in God's nature and are a prerequisite for faith. The importance of morality in Islam is further emphasized by the fact that it is a prerequisite for faith, and that good character is highly valued.
