About this title

Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive study of the moral code as imparted by the Holy Quran. It addresses a multitude of duties that humans have toward themselves and others, based on the Quran's emphasis on obligation rather than rights. It begins with duties to God, the most fundamental of all, as well as duties to the Holy Prophet, the angels, and other spiritual beings. The author argues that these duties are not merely formalistic but essential for the spiritual development of a Muslim's personality. The book goes on to explore duties toward other individuals, both Muslims and non-Muslims, and toward the societal whole. It emphasizes the importance of justice, love, and compassion in all human interactions and highlights the role of the state in ensuring the spiritual, moral, and economic well-being of its citizens. The author's insights provide a profound understanding of the Quranic moral code and its significance in shaping a virtuous and harmonious society.
