Key Classical Works on Islamic Ethics : قراءات في عيون التراث الأخلاقي الإسلامي

---

This book transcends the narrow philosophical concept of ethics confined to the Greek model, demonstrating that “Islamic ethics” is an interdisciplinary field. It encompasses both theoretical and practical ethics, incorporating disciplines such as Qurʾān, ḥadīth, biography of the Prophet (sīra), theology (kalām), jurisprudence (fiqh), Sufism, and philosophy. The book provides analytical readings of a list of Islamic ethical heritage sources covering a period from the 3rd/9th to the 8th/14th century. It emphasises two ideas: first, the richness and diversity of ethical perspectives within Islamic tradition, showcasing multiple approaches including the Greek philosophical, narrative, and analytical approach belonging to other disciplines beyond philosophy. Second, it challenges the perception of scarcity in ethical sources within Islamic civilization.
