AB  - In Islam, ethics (akhlaq) is inseparable from religion and 
  is built entirely upon it. Naturally therefore, the Quran and the Sunnah are 
  the ultimate sources for Muslim ethics. The books on adab (good manners) and 
  makarim al-akhlaq (noble qualities of character) which have embodied the earliest 
  works on ethics in Islam demonstrate, the extent to which they utilize the Quran 
  and the Sunnah. However, early Muslim discussions on ethics, such as those by 
  Al-Kindi (d.874), Al-Farabi (d.950) and Ibn Sina (d.1037) did not attain to 
  the status of a discipline though invariably serving as an introduction to their 
  wider studies on politics, law and other fields of knowledge. Miskawayh (d.1030), 
  Al-Ghazali (d.1111), Al-Tusi (d.1274) and Al-Dawwani (d.1502) through their 
  major respective research on ethics, Tahdhib Al-Akhlaq, Ihya’ 
  ‘Ulum al-Din, Akhlaq Al-Nasiri and Akhlaq Al-Jalali have separated ethics 
  from other disciplines, offering a very thorough analytical system of Islamic 
  ethics. Thus, this qualitative study which applies conceptual content analysis 
  method seeks to make a critical study of the meaning and development of ethical 
  thought in Islam.
