Moral, Yusuf Qardhawi, Al IslamAbstract
This study aims to analyze the concept of morality in Akhlaq al-Islam by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, focusing on its definition, objectives, position, and benchmarks. This qualitative research employs a library research approach with content analysis as the main technique. The findings show that morality, according to al-Qaradawi, is a constant quality firmly attached to the soul that shapes human behavior, both commendable and blameworthy. The moral objectives include devotion to God, purification of the soul, attainment of virtue, human happiness, individual improvement, family strength, the establishment of a pious society, the creation of a balanced community, and global human solidarity. The position of morality in Islam, as explained by al-Qaradawi, is interconnected with faith, worship, economics, politics, and even warfare. The main benchmarks of morality are the Qur’an and Hadith, the human conscience, public benefit, good traditions aligned with Sharia, and spiritual refinement that leads to a sound and faithful soul.
