Morality in islam

The words "morality", "morals", "ethics" are close in meaning. But they appeared in three different languages. "Morality"(нравстенность), the Russian word, derived from the root of "like." It first came to the dictionary of Russian language in the XVIII century and began to be used along with the words "ethics" and "morality" as its synonym. So in the Russian language, there are three words with approximately the same value. Over time, they acquired some shades of meaning that distinguish them from each other. But in practice, usage of these words almost interchangeably (and their shades of meaning can almost always catch on context).

Translated from the Arabic word "Islam" means submission, obedience, surrender, peace. Islam stands for complete submission and obedience to Allah. Islam has always carried the people of peace and grace. And anyone who truly profess the Islamic faith, a person who inspires confidence in everyone. He has no words, no matter of not causing anyone any harm.

Islam - this is the true religion. Islam - the religion of monotheism, ie belief in Islam is based only on faith in Allah. It teaches humility and the worship of God alone.

Islam - a world religion. The laws of the religion of Islam to meet all the needs of people.

Islam - the religion of peace and love. One of the main purposes of Islam is to bring people's hearts love for each other, respect the rights of others, compassion, morality, and that they may dwell in tranquility and in the world. Islam does not approve of entertainment and recreation, which stimulate the passions and undermine the moral canons. They are a waste of time, money, energy and destroy the moral fabric of society. The role of morality in Islam is more than important for faith, piety, and morality is coherent and interrelated elements of the same chain. The purpose of the religion of Islam is to make people happy. People who adhere to the laws of Islam, will get happiness in this and future lives. The Islamic religion includes three categories:

1. Iman faith.

2. Amal-action.

3. Ahlyak – morality.

Ahlyak in Islam is of great value and significance. One of the goals of Islam - to bring highly moral people. Prophet Muhammad said: "I sent down to you to improve morality." A Muslim is evaluated on its morality. In the Hadis of Prophet Muhammad said: "Most of my favorite and the closest to me on Judgement Day who has high morals." They asked the Prophet Muhammad: "What are the beloved servants of Allah?". The Prophet replied: "Those who have high morals." As the commission of worship is a duty, so compliance with the laws of morality is the commandment of Allah. In essence the purpose of Islam is distant from the bad deeds and education in their high morals. Ahlyak is a habit, which were included in the human soul. These habits mechanically manifested in our actions and relationships.

In our souls infused two kinds of habits:

1. Good habits.

2. Habits. The motion of our bodies is connected with our soul. If in our minds put good habits. Then the mode of action of our bodies will be good. These good actions are called good morals. And if our souls are placed habits. That the actions of our bodies will be bad. And this is called bad morals. To ensure that our actions were correct. We need to purify the soul from bad habits and put the good habits. A renowned scholar Fethullah Gülen said: "Educating people is like a dress that hides his nakedness and protect from prying eyes. If a person is rude, it is like one who is deprived of clothing. "He who has true faith, know that Allah sees all the actions he performs, and he knows that there are angels who record his actions. He also believes that the Day of Judgement will be brought to him all the acts that he committed in this life. And believes that if he performed good deeds will get a reward for doing, and if he committed bad deeds, it will be punished. Religion has always played a key role in developing high value, and role models were the prophets of Allah. They have left us examples and ideals of moral perfection, the instruction in words and deeds, so that we can attain perfection and live happily confessing high morale. The Prophet Muhammad - a man with high morals, which gave him the Most High. He received his morality, which commanded us in the Qur'an, he incorporated all the best qualities of man. When asked Mrs Aisha (his wife) about the prophet Muhammad is said: "His morality - it is the Quran". Prophet Muhammad taught the laws of morality, and he lived on them. He never deviated from the laws of morality and goodness. And his good deeds were an example for people. The Quran says: "For you in the Messenger of Allah, an exemplary model for those who hope for Allah's mercy and good Judgement Day and remember Allah often". In this verse Allah commands us to imitate the Prophet's life Muhammad. We should strive to acquire good knowledge about his highly moral life and only took her as his example. The Quran mentions the fear of God, as one of the decent quality of Muslims: "... the most revered among you before Allah - the most God-fearing." (Quran 49:13) Humility, self-control, honesty, sincerity, patience, firmness and loyalty to the word - these are moral qualities, which are often mentioned in the Qur'an: "... Allah loves the patient ..." (Quran 3:146) " Seek forgiveness of your Lord and Paradise, whose width is equal to the heavens and the earth, prepared for God-fearing, who make donations in joy and in sorrow, restrain anger and forgive people. Verily, Allah loves the doers of good. " (Quran 3:133-134) "Do not turn away your face from people out of arrogance and marches on land puffy. Verily, Allah loves not any arrogant men. Go the measured tread and lowers his voice, for the most unpleasant voice - it's the roar of a donkey. " (Quran 31:18-19) Islam has defined for his followers responsibilities towards the society around them, which differ from one category of people to another. For example, in relation to close relatives - parents, children, wife ... - a Muslim is more duties than with respect to distant relatives and other people: neighbors, friends, orphans, widows, the poor ... Islam strictly forbids lying in all its manifestations, because it harms other people and becomes a source of danger to society. It prohibits the theft, fraud on, slander, gambling, speculation, because in all of this one person benefits from losses.

Moral obligation to the people:

1. Does not harm anyone.

2. Help other people.

3. Respect for elders and mercy to the youngest.

4. Greet each other.

5. Do not be angry.

6. Reconcile quarrel.

7. To visit friends.

8. Regale guests.

9. Accept the invitation.

10. Not finding fault with others.

11. To forgive evil.

12. Visit the sick.

13. Participate in the prayer of al-dzhanaza.

14. Wish for a better Muslim.
