Keywords: Ethics, Rule of Law, Islamic Ethics, Peace, Coexistence, Human Society Introduction: Al-Ghazali stated that man consists of two Islamic ethics is being defined as akhlaq forms, khalq and khuluq or akhlaq. Khalq refers to the (plural of khuluq) which means character, nature, and physical form of mankind while khuluq or akhlaq refers disposition. The word akhlaq has a very close to the spiritual form of mankind. Thus, akhlaq from al- relationship with the word khaliq (the Creator) and Ghazali‟s point of view is rooted in the soul and makhluq (the creature). Therefore, akhlaq assumes a manifested through man‟s actions. Good soul will good relationship between khaliq(the Creator) and produce right action and vice versa. Al-Ghazali defined makhluq (the creature), and between makhluq (the Islamic ethics or ilm al-akhlaq as the way to acquire the creature) and makhluq (the creature) themselves. The well being of the soul and to guard it against the vices. term khuluq appears in the Qur‟anic verse “And You It is also a study of certain religious beliefs and of (Muhammad) are on an exalted standard of character” rightness or wrongness of actions for the purpose of (Qur‟an 68:4). Khuluq (akhlaq) or character has been practice, and not for the sake of mere knowledge. For referred as the state of the soul that determines human him, the study of akhlaq includes the study of right actions. It is neither the soul nor the action. Such actions towards Allah, family members, and society. character could be acquired through training and Thus, the scope of akhlaq, according to al-Ghazali, is practice. (Abdul Rahim, 2013). In addition, to very wide (Omar, 1991). In addition, Islamic ethics differentiate between the words character and action, deals with the ways to sustain virtues at their best level, character is the internal and hidden state of the soul, i.e., to avoid misconduct and to do what is precise and while action is its outward manifestation. Character or pleasing. The scope of Islamic ethics is numerous, far akhlaq is the inward cause while action is its outward reaching and comprehensive because Islamic ethics consequences. A good character hence begets good deals with the relationship between man and Allah, man action whereas a bad character yields bad actions and his fellow men, men and other creatures of the (Omar, 1991).

  • Understanding Islamic Ethics and Its Significance on the Character Building
    UNDERSTANDING ISLAMIC ETHICS AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE ON THE CHARACTER BUILDING BY DR ADIBAH BINTI ABDUL RAHIM INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA (IIUM) Definitions of Islamic ethics • Islamic ethics is defined as akhlaq (plural khuluq) which means character. • The word akhlaq has a very close relationship with the word khaliq (Creator) and makhluq (creature). • Akhlaq or character has been referred as the state of the soul that determines human actions. • Al Farabi (d 950) was to be known as the earliest great Muslim philosopher who acknowledged the interrelation of akhlaq or character with human action. • Indeed, he defined Islamic ethic or ilm al akhlaq as “ a science that studies the state of human soul”. • Besides al-Farabi, Ibn Miskawayh (d 1030) in his work tahzib al-Akhlaq defined Islamic ethics or ilm al-akhlaq as “a state of the soul which causes it to perform its action without thought or deliberation”. • The definition of akhlaq as the science of the human soul was further elaborated by successive writers and philosophers on Islamic ethics, such as, al-Ghazali (d 1111), Fakhruddin al Razi (d 1209), al Tusi (d 1274), al Dawani (d 1502) and others. • Al-Ghazali stated that man consists of 2 forms; i) khalq- refers to the physical form of mankind ii) Akhlaq- refers to the spiritual form of mankind • Thus, akhlaq from al Ghazali’s point of view is rooted in the soul and manifested through man’s actions. • Al Ghazali defined Islamic ethics or ilm al akhlaq as -“The way to acquire the well being of the soul and to guard it against the vices”.

  • Islamic Social Ethics: an Analysis of Miskawayh's Thought
    ISSN 2414-8385 (Online) European Journal of Jan-Apr 2016 ISSN 2414-8377 (Print) Multidisciplinary Studies Vol.1 Nr. 1 Islamic Social Ethics: An Analysis of Miskawayh’s Thought Professor Dr. Mohd Nasir Omar, Department of Theology & Philosophy, National University of Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. Email: [email protected] Tel: +6013-3322833 Abstract Early Muslim discussions on ethics, such as those by al-Kindi (d.874) and al-Farabi (d.950), did not attain to the status of a discipline though invariably serving as an introduction or parts of their wider studies on politics, law and other fields of knowledge. Miskawayh (d. 1030), however, through his chief ethical treatise Tahdhib al-Akhlaq (1966), was the first Muslim moralist to work out a very clear, and in many respects, a thorough analytical system of ethics in Islam. The great Muslim scholar, al-Ghazali (d. 1111), as has been brought out by a number of writers on his ethical thought, incorporated the greater part of Miskawayh’s treatise, especially in his Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din (1976). Miskawayh’s ethical work was thus occupying a prominent place in this particular branch of Islamic ethical literature. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that most of the later works that deal with this subject use it as their main authority and some of them are even based on it. Hence, a close examination of this unique compendium is indispensable for a proper understanding of Islamic ethical thought. Thus, this qualitative study which applies conceptual content analysis method seeks to make a critical analysis of such an influential works on ethics with the purpose of elucidating its views concerning social ethics, love and friendship.

WHY SHOULD WE STUDY IT? Akhlaq means BEHAVIOUR or CONDUCT. To have good Akhlaq is very important but at the same time it is very difficult. Prophet Muhammad (S) has explained: "I have been sent to complete the nobility of your character." This means that out of all the tasks which Allah sent the Prophet (S) to us for, one of the most important was to teach us perfect Akhlaq. To gain the best Akhlaq can be compared to climbing out of a deep, dark cave. Imagine trying to climb out from a cave as deep as the world. In the cave, our eyes are useless, we cannot see anything. We have to feel our way with our hands. As we climb higher, we begin to see the light, and our eyes start to open. In the same way, when we try to improve our character, we take one step at a time, higher and higher. The higher we get the closer we get to the light of Allah, and the better our Akhlaq becomes.

  • Akhlaq E-A'imma, Morals & Manners of the Holy Imams
    Chapter 1 Foreward In The Name Of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful To praise Hazrat Adeebe Azam Maulana Sayyid Zafar Hasan Sahab Qibla or to write something about him is akin to lighting a lamp in front of the blazing Sun. He has written more than 200 books including some very voluminous ones like Manaqib of Ibne Shahr-e-Aashob, Majmaul Fazael and Four Volumes of Al-Kafi running into thousands of pages. After migrating to Pakistan he continued to bring out the “Noor” magazine. Apart from this he used to run a religious school, imparting education in Islamic sciences. His students are still found engaged in the work of religious propagation. Keeping in mind the usefulness of his writings we have decided to publish them in India also. We have already published Hayat B'ad al-Maut (Life after Death). The second in this series, Akhlaq-e-Aaimma (Morals & Manners of the Holy Imams) is in your hands. If we continue to receive co-operation of the reading public, Insha Allah, we would endeavor to publish all the writings of this great scholar. The enemies have not heard of the virtuous qualities of the Imams, and neither have they liked it - as for the friends; they listen to the merits and virtues of Imams and invoke blessings on them and send Salawat - but what about emulating them? That is why so many ethical weak- nesses have developed among us. May Allah give us the divine oppor- tunity to study this book and take account of ourselves; and resolve that by this we would amend whatever deficiencies we have.

  • Human Nature Based on Al-Qur'an As the Basic Of
    HUMAN NATURE BASED ON AL-QUR’AN AS THE BASIC OF EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT Abdul Kodir State Islamic University (UIN) Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, Indonesia Jl. A. H. Nasution No. 105, Bandung, West Java-Indonesia Email: [email protected] Wawan Sonjaya State Islamic Institute (IAI) Bunga Bangsa Cirebon, Indonesia Jl. Widasari III Tuparev Cirebon West Java-Indonesia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This research focuses on perspective of human nature based on Al-Qur‟an as the basic of education development. It used descriptive qualitative method of research as well as library research which aims at collecting data and information from various literatures available in the library such as books, magazines, scripts, notes, histories, and other documents. The results of this research are drawn into conclusion, among others: first, based on all terms refering to human meaning, it can be defined that human nature required in Al-Qur‟an apparently leads to the term al- insân. On the other side, from human structure‟s perspective, Al-Qur‟an describes human as a creature consisting of physical and spiritual elements. Meanwhile from his position and role, human nature based on Al-Qur‟an is described as Allah‟s servant and Allah‟s khalifah on Earth. Second, there is a close relationship both directly and indirectly with education concept in Al-Qur‟an. Third, the concept of human nature in Al-Qur‟an which cannot be separated from its education concept, thus, has a basic implication toward all education aspects, especially, in vision, orientation and objective of education, curriculum, methodology of education and evaluation on education.

Our Behaviour is that ability (malakah) of the soul which is the source of all activities that we perform spontaneously without thinking about them. Malakah is a property of the soul which comes into existence through exercise and repetitive practice and is not easily destroyed. A particular behaviour (malakah) may appear in us because of one of the following reasons: Natural and physical make up: It is observed that some people are patient while others are touchy and nervous. Some are easily disturbed and saddened while others show greater resistance and resilience. Habit: This is formed because of continual repetition of certain acts and leads to the emergence of a certain behaviour. Practice and conscious effort: If continued long enough will eventually lead to the formation of certain behaviour. Even though the our physical make-up produces certain behaviour patterns in us, it is by no means true that we have no choice in the matter and are absolutely compelled to abide by the dictates of this physical make-up.

    Adab and Akhlaq in the Islamic Scientific Tradition: Reflection on Curriculum at UNIDA Gontor Fitra Awalia Rahmawati1, Nurul Salis Alamin2, Neneng Uswatun Hasanah3, Iman Nur Hidayat4, Umi Mahmudah5 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} University of Darussalam Gontor, Jl. Raya Siman km 6 Siman Ponorogo1,2,3,4,5 Abstract. The Islamization idea was one of the efforts in conducted dialogue with other civilizations and also maintaining the identity and essence of Islam itself. The rise of the Islamic ummah can be started from mastery and deepening of knowledge followed by good Adab and Akhlaq. This Study was concentrated on elucidating Gontor’s Curriculum which contained the implementation of Islamization idea. It was a critical study about some aspect of curriculum which is projected the similarity of Islamic worldview such as; the concept of God, knowledge, Adab and Akhlaq. We conclude positive aspects of some Islamization idea in Gontor's curriculum. These aspects which built an Islamic spirit in their scientific activities and other development in line with Gontor's orientation. Keywords: Adab and Akhlaq, Islamization, Curriculum. Introduction The discussion about Islamization can’t be separated from knowledge (‘ilm), believe (Iman), and character (Akhlak). Depend on Ottoman's fall at 1924; some Muslim scholars had analyzed that ummah degradation was begun at the line with the decrease of Islamic scientific tradition because of colonialization. Physical localization used a mentality, education, economic, and Devide et Empera strategies. But there was intellectual colonialization in scientific ‘fashion' using liberalization and infiltration of the western worldview.
