Understanding Islam, "Morals and Ethics" Dubai Media

 * Beliefs & practices are the core of Islam. Yet, Islam is not considered complete without ethics and morals.


 * Ethic is the core of humanity and the foundation of civilization.


 * Islam has emphasized Ethics, good deeds and nice words in order to build a better world and an ideal society as it aims at bringing up the best in humans.


 * Doing good to other people is not only a nice extra thing to do, but it is actually part of Emaan or the Faith; The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his neighbor [treat his neighbor with kindness], and whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his guest”.


 * Imagine!, the two most important Sahabah in Islam, racing to help an old blind woman, at night and at the edge of the city!.


 * Islam considers Ethics & Morals as a way to attain rewards and entitlement to Heavens.


 * The real concept of morality is benefiting people and avoiding harming them.


 * A Muslim should live up to his character, and employ his powers in doing what is good, beneficial and helpful.


 * Any intentional inequitable harm is a danger zone!


 * Goodness is not only required in action, but also in speech.


 * Goodness is required even in thoughts and desires.


 * If you succeeded with patience, you should try to reach a higher state of morality; which is to counter evil with good.


 * Evil must not be countered with another evil but, rather, repelled by an act of goodness.


 * The final level - of good ethics - is to deal with your enemy in the best kind of treatment as though he is a close friend!


 * Foil hatred with goodness and love and make those enemy your true friends!


 * It is relatively easy to control your anger after a while, but to do that after facing such extremes and at the height of your troubles, when you are wearied and exhausted, when you are heart-broken and depressed, that is sublime morality and magnificent ethics.


 * -Ethic- is especially important while conducting business, in law suits and trials, when people act rudely, etc.


 * Ethics are not theoretical! They are practical and affect our everyday life; at homes, in our neighborhood, at the road, at our work place.


 * A true Muslim will surely strive to improve his manners and correct his condition, and purify his demeanor and his innermost feelings.


 * Each one of us should ask himself; Am I being the best I can be to my family?  Am I being the best parent I can be?  Am I being the best child I can be?  The best friend? The best neighbor?  The best for my brothers and sisters?  The best for my society? The best for humanity?  Where am I from the saying: “The best of people, is the best TO the people”?


 * There is always room for improvement in our lives. Are we willing to try?!  Are we going to try?!
