Quran Prohibitions and Their Role in Developing The Moral Aspect

Abstract

This research addresses the issue of Quranic values and their impact on the development of moral values. Today, we are in great need of finding a new approach to moral development in our society, based on giving some moral constants new meanings or special attention to some of their connotations, in order to alleviate the severity of the backwardness and moral collapse that are affecting our communities. The problem of the research lies in what some believe in the possibility of reforming without relying on the Quran, considering it no longer suitable to keep up with the times, justifying this by the difference in the environment and nature that accompanied the revelation of the Quran from the environment and nature of this time. The importance of the research lies in demonstrating the importance of ethics in our lives and the role of Quranic values in developing them. The research relied on the inductive method in collecting the vocabulary of the topic by referring to the Quran, Sunnah, and the most famous books of scholars who addressed ethical issues. It also relied on the descriptive-analytical method in analyzing texts, highlighting the comprehensive relationships between them, and extracting the guidelines and rules to regulate this issue and highlight its features. The study has reached several important results, including: that the world's current turmoil and anxiety is primarily due to the exclusion and elimination of virtuous ethics and ideal values from organizing human life, that the Quran is suitable for every time and place and is the basis for any social reform that humans seek to achieve, and that Quranic injunctions have a clear impact on the development of the ethical aspect that represents the origin and foundation of this religion. The study recommends the necessity of working to restore the system of moral values by reviving these values in our minds and hearts first, and then working diligently to apply them in our contemporary reality. It also recommends the necessity of Islamic institutions playing their role in consolidating Islamic values by highlighting the Quran's concern for these values and its methodology in developing them through its commands and injunctions. Finally, the study recommends further research to demonstrate the Quran's approach in developing ethics through its never-ending guidance.
