Ethical values in Islam
"The most perfect believer in terms of

belief is the one who has the highest
ethics and who treats his family in the
nicest way". (Abu Dawood, Sunnah, 14)
“Verily, I was sent for no other

reason, except to perfect the noble
traits of character'”
1
The religion of Allah is 100% complete
and was brought to us by the best of
mankind, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him).
The greatest among the miracles was
the Sublime Qur'an,
the manifest miracle,
the wise reminder,
the straight path,
the majestic word of Allah.
The Quran mentions several good acts of
ethics repeatedly, for example
dealing with your parents in the best manner,
being nice to your relatives and neighbours,
taking care of orphans and the poor,
telling the truth and being honest,
being sincere in all of your intentions,
fulfilling your promises, treating all people fairly
The Prophet (PBUH) taught us what to

do in every stage in life, which is one
of the qualities that make the religion
of Islam very unique.
TRUTHFULNESS
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), said: “I

order you to be truthful, A true action leads to the path of virtue
and good deeds, and virtue paves the way of a person to Paradise,
and the said person continues to speak the truth till in the sight of
Allah he is named Siddiq (Truthful). Lying leads to vice, and vice
leads to indecent acts and a person goes on lying till in the sight of
Allah he is named a liar.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
TRUSTWORTHINESS
He warned his people against lying, breaking
one’s word and breach of trust. “Like
breaching a trust and breaking one’s word,
lying was also, in his words, ‘a sign of
hypocrisy’.” (Abu Dawud, Adab, 80; I. Hanbal, 3.447)
You should give up deceiving animals. You should be
trustworthy even in your treatment of them. (Bukhari, Iman,
24; Muslim, Iman, 107)
FEW COMMUNICATION MANNERS
Method of communication.
phones, chats (YM, MSN),
social networks (Face book),
forums and so much more.
Quran says: Be truthful in your speech and refrain from lying and
falsified news. Remember, there is no such thing as a “white lie”, so try
your best not to come up with small lies. Truthful words are always the
best and they are able to save you from unwanted or unnecessary fitnah
or matters.
FORBIDDING SUSPICION & BACKBITING
The Messenger of Allah

(peace and blessings be upon
him), was so sensitive on this
point that when once ‘A’isha
said of a woman, ‘How long
the neck of that woman is!
He commented:
You have backbitten against
her and thereby eaten of her
flesh.
(Ibn Kathir, Tafsir, 7.359; al-Targhib ve l–
Tarhib, 4.285).
The Qur’an declares: “O you who believe! Avoid much of
suspicion for suspicion in some cases is a grave sin.
WHISPERING
All Muslims, take extra note on this. Gossiping, backbiting and

slander are serious issues for they cause harm to other people and
parties.
All Muslims, take extra note on this. Gossiping,

backbiting and slander are serious issues for
they cause harm to other people and parties.
These are basically spreading talk among
people to make them hate and to speak bad
things about one another.
Prophet Muhammad (peace and

blessings be upon him) used to make
jokes but his jokes were purely based
on truth. And according to Islamic
teachings, it is not permissible to
make jokes which include lying.
“O ye who believe! Let not some men among you

laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are
better than the (former): Nor let some women
laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are
better than the (former): Nor defame nor be
sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by
(offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name
connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he
has believed: And those who do not desist
are(indeed) doing wrong.” – Al Quran, 49: 11
The last three sins - suspicion, spying and

backbiting - are connected to each other. If you
avoid the first one, you will be able to stay away
from the other two sins. But if you always
suspect others, then you will be tempted to spy
on them or find bad things about them. If you
find out anything negative about others, then you
are tempted to gossip about them. So keep your
mind clean and try to think good of others. These
are some ethical rights which Muslims have over
each other.
PATIENCE
Everything Allah chooses for you;

from good or evil, is for your
benefit. Whatever occurred to you
could not have missed you and
what missed you could never have
reached you. Rewards are only for
those who are patient with the
Decree of Allah.
The Virtues of
Patience
The story takes
place in the city
not far away from
Mecca, known as
Ta'if.
Patience is of three types:
i. Patience upon obedience – To be patient when

finding it hard obeying Allah's rules.
ii. To be patient when a trouble befalls you.
iii.To be patient when finding it hard to abstain
from sins.
EQUALITY :
“O you mankind! We have created you from a male and a

female; and made you into nations and tribes so that you may
know each other [more easily]. Indeed, the most noble among
you in view of Allāh is the most pious of you.” – Al Quran 49:13
RIGHTS FOR ALL MEMBERS:

“And your Lord has decreed that you
worship none but Him. And that you be
dutiful to your parents. If one of them or
both of them attain old age in your life,
say not to them a word of disrespect, nor
shout at them but address them in terms
of honor.” - Al Quran, 17:23
“A kind word is charity.”
(Sahih al Bukhari and Muslim)
Conveyed the Message of Peace
His message was crucial, for a proper relationship

of love and respect can be established only if that
is how human beings regard one another.
"You are all Aadam’s offspring and Aadam

was made of clay." (Sahih al Bukhari)
“Allah does not regard your externals or
your riches but rather your hearts and
your deeds.” (Sahih Muslim)
Mahboob Ahmad
