Abstract:
This research is a study to understand the impact of Quranic commands and prohibitions on
building, reforming, and developing ethics. It discusses the problem of moral deviation and
weak behavioral commitment in Islamic societies in general and among students of Sharia
sciences and other disciplines in particular. The research employs an analytical field method
by studying a sample of students from Universiti Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah
(UniSHAMS), an international Islamic university in Kedah, Malaysia. The sample includes
students from various levels, specializations, and faculties. A total of 120 questionnaires were
distributed to male and female students, covering three main aspects. Statistical analyses
were conducted using the PSPP statistical software, and the research found several results,
including: Quranic commands and prohibitions have a significant impact on building ethics
and evaluating behavior. The commitment to Quranic principles and religious practices varies
among UniSHAMS students and other communities. The university, its curriculum,
administration, professors, and environment have a considerable influence on adhering to
Quranic commands and ethical commitments. The apparent weakness in certain
condemnable behaviors among UniSHAMS student community is a result of weak
commitment to certain Quranic commands and prohibitions.
