The Creation of the Muslim - Muhammad Al-Ghazali

The issue of morals is considered one of the most important centralities that Islam has paid attention to, and placed it under great concern as one of the most important pillars of success in the pursuit of a Muslim in his life.

Therefore, this issue was of great interest to the awakening thinkers in the past decades, in light of the state of schizophrenia that emerged between Muslims and the essence of their faith in the last centuries of civilizational decline.

In our hands is a book entitled "The Morals of a Muslim", by the Islamic writer and thinker, Muhammad al-Ghazali, published by the Cairo-based Dar Al-Rayyan Heritage in the year 1987 AD, with 239 pages.

And the book, as its author says, is a text from the Holy Qur’an and the honorable Sunnah of the Prophet, directing the Muslim to the virtues by which his religion is perfected, and by which he corrects his life and the hereafter.

And the book, as is usually al-Ghazali, came in the form of articles of the nature of thoughts that deal with practical situations in human life, and the role of religion in directing human endeavor in them.

Al-Ghazali begins his book by talking about the pillars of Islam and the principles of morals, and how weak morals are evidence of weak faith, and the role of morals in creating a better world for man, and human nature between good and evil.

Then, he dealt with a set of ethics that a Muslim must strive to adopt.

The list included what is related to secrets, and what is related to behavior and publicity.

This system included honesty, trustworthiness, loyalty, sincerity, politeness of speech, safety of the chest from grudges, good choice of friends, mercy, the need to benefit from time, patience, forbearance and forgiveness, generosity and generosity, unity of stance among Muslims, knowledge and reason.
