What is your opinion regarding the statement: Are Islamic morals not among the matters of belief?
Islamic morals are undoubtedly part of the message's content and its fundamentals, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent to perfect noble morals.Rather, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Righteousness is good character) And know that every legal ruling a person performs in obedience to Allah's command and following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is a matter of belief.Meaning: You do not perform it except while believing that it is a means of nearness to Allah, and that you are obeying Allah's command and following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). Without this belief, the deed would be nothing at all. The claim that religion consists of beliefs and rulings, if it means rulings devoid of belief, is an error. Is it not a condition of every act of worship that it be sincere for Allah and in accordance with the Shari'ah of Allah? Yes.
Therefore: This is the reality. However, belief may be purely faith-based, such as belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and the divine decree, its good and its evil. It may also be action in accordance with the Shari'ah, which must necessarily be accompanied by belief. There is no doubt that morals and noble morals are part of the Islamic religion, and that the more a person adopts them by following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the greater the act of worship.
