Morality is one of the fundamental sources of a nation’s strength, just as immorality is one of the main causes of a nation’s decline.
Islam has established some fundamental rights for humanity as a whole, which are to be observed in all circumstances.
To uphold these rights, Islam has provided not only legal safeguards, but also a very effective moral system.
Thus, whatever leads to the welfare of the individual or the society and does not oppose any maxims of the religion is morally good in Islam, and whatever is harmful is morally bad.
The guiding principle for the behaviour of a Muslim is
“Virtuous Deeds.”
The Prophet, summarized the conduct of a Muslim when he said: “My Sustainer has given me nine commands: to remain conscious of God, whether in private or in public; to speak justly, whether angry or pleased; to show moderation both when poor and when rich, to reunite friendship with those who have broken off with me; to give to him who refuses me; that my silence should be occupied with thought; that my looking should be an admonition; and that I should command what is right.”
