There are ten characteristics of Akhlak:
- Divine source
Islamic morals are neither a personal opinion nor a situational system, but rather are derived from the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet.
- Intent of Ibadah
No matter how you create a person with Islamic morals, it will remain an image without a soul as long as its owner does not respond to the face of God and his approval. Islamic morals aim to possess the heart of a Muslim, so he drives to it with sincere faith, and adherence to it increases in faith.
- Persuasion to mind
Every creation that Islam urged or warned against, as it does not contradict the enlightened human mind, pleases his heart and conscience and convinces his mind.
- Ideal to follow and reality
It calls for transcendence and elevation, taking into account the psyche of people, their needs, and their abilities to rise, so it does not demand from them what is beyond their capacity (so fear God as much as you can). These ethics are not something far-fetched, or it is just a fantasy, but rather ethics to reach it is a matter that can be reached whenever there is a certain desire.
- Complete system
Viewed from human beings supplied with various instincts, Islamic morality is encompassing all aspects of spiritual, physical and aqliyyah humanity, following all instinctual demands to control the reprehensible attributes (attributes of mazmumah) for human perfection, not to control freedom someone’s personality.
Islamic morals include all aspects of a person’s life, with his Lord, with people, in his home, in his work, in his seclusion, in buying and selling, in peace and war. All of these aspects have ethics that calls for a Muslim to excel in virtuous behaviour in all areas of life.
Islamic morals relate to all the elements of the universe, including animals, plants and inanimate objects. It is not permissible for a person to tamper with, destroy, or destroy, because that is corruption. The Almighty said: {And do not seek corruption on earth. God does not love corruptors.}
- Firm
Islamic morality is absolute, cannot be changed or modified according to time, place, people, and situations. It is fixed whether with the poor or the rich, whether with the weak or the powerful, whether in travel or residence, whether in anger or the event of consent.
Thus, in contrast to the non-Islamic morals that revolve around interests and passions.
- Balanced
Islamic morals do not prevail over one side, for all Islamic morals are required without giving precedence to one side over the other. Morality in Islam brings continuity to the demands of the reality of life between rohaniyyah and jasmaniyyah and aqliyyah, and between the life of this world and the hereafter following the nature of man himself. They call for pride with humility, and they also call for victory with forgiveness. The moral demands in Islam are simple, not burdensome until it becomes passive and does not allow it to cause harm and damage.
- Step by step
Islam takes into account the principle of progression and progression in legislation, as well as in the ladder of displaying good morals.
For example, he asks for charity to be given to the soul of a Muslim, and he does not demand to give up all his money, as Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, did. A Muslim is asked to pardon the offender, but to do good to him, that is a higher level and a higher position. And it can rise to it by education.
- Reward and punishment here and hereafter
The law of Islamic morals made the punishment of two types.
Worldly: The Almighty said: {Whoever does righteousness, male or female, while he is a believer, let us live in him a good life.
And the Almighty said: “Pay with what is better, and behold, what is between you
And there is a hostility between him as if he were a close guardian
The Qur’an talks about some ethical violations and says:
{… What is the reward for one of you who does that, but shame in life?
The world and the Day of Resurrection will return to the most severe suffering.
For the good of human beings, the implementation of Islamic morality includes instructions and prohibitions by not prioritizing or ignoring any of these aspects.
- Dual supervision
The moral law in Islam makes a person responsible for all his actions. The Almighty said: {Hearing, sight, and heartland, all of those were responsible for him}, And he says: {Whoever does good works, let him be the one who offends him.} He says: (And do not visit a button and another button).Then we should observe the observation of God Almighty, as God Almighty said: {He knows the betrayal of the eyes and what the breasts hide}
