In Islam, ethics (akhlaq) is inseparable from religion and is built entirely
upon it. Naturally, therefore, the Qur’an and the Sunnah are the ultimate
sources for Muslim ethics. The books on adab (good manners) and makarim alakhlaq
(noble qualities of character), which have embodied the earliest works
on ethics in Islam demonstrate the extant to which they utilize the Qur’an and
the Sunnah. However, early Muslim discussions on ethical philosophy, such
as those by al-Kindi (d. 874), al-Farabi (d. 950) and Ibn Sina (d. 1037), did
not attain to the status of a discipline though invariably serving as an
introduction to their wider studies on politics, law and other fields of
knowledge. Miskawayh (d.1030), through his famous ethical work on ethics,
Tahdhib al-Akhlaq, was the first Muslim moralist to have separated ethics
from other disciplines, offering a very thorough analytical system of Islamic
ethics. Thus, this qualitative study which applies conceptual content analysis
method seeks to make a critical survey of the development of ethical thought
in Islam. |
