I’ve reached this conclusion as well. We operate off of objective morality since our moral code is from Allah SWT, whereas western approaches to moral issues has been a series of blind trial and error (especially historically). Societies truly flounder around blindly without guidance. Alhamdulillah for Islam.

When I really paid attention to Islam, it already came with all the brilliant insights of the European philosophers, in a much more effective and pure form, about a millenium before the Eurpoeans.

The reason for this is that there is no morality without God. Western philosophy has tried to come up with a system of morality for 2500 years but failed. The best they have done is secularized Christianity and tried to prove that system of morality through reason. Like why is Murder wrong without taking it from the Bible

There is very little that was new in Islam, the bulk of the Quran gets it's morals from Judaism. Utilitarianism, codified in the 18th century, was far more innovative than Islam, ditching as it did all the dogma that the Hebrewic totalitarian religious cults had imposed for 1000 years.

Incredible statement, everything testifies the truthfulness of prophet Muhammad s a w when he said I was sent to fullfil morality and there's no prophet after me.If anyone challenge Muslims morality and brought up many morality as they brought to Christians then It would be unfulfilled prophecy so in the Bible it's written to test a prophecy if it's not coming pass so what are people waiting for? he proved his truthfulness unchallengeable about 1400 years ago and still Muslims society is happy to uphold his morality even war torn country are saying that the only way we could be strong is if uphold his morality but for Christians nation they are still busy with PRD to spread to neighbors nations and craving for themselves new morality

Someone is too traumatized to even consider death penalty granted for questionning the "prophet"... Or is it a study case of taqiya ?... A pity

" Muslim civilization,however has produced no moral system after the coming of Islam.There could scarcely be a better proof of the strength of the LIASON BETWEEN ISLAMIC RELIGION AND MORALITY" Islam is a way of life.Its been brought for humanity at large.When a set of Codes of Conduct ,are chosen to be a way of life by the Creator himself Morality doesn't need to be singled out.It exists as part of that Code of Conduct Doctrine already.

Even when religious renewal and Islamic revival occurred, the issues were intellectual, philosophical, and rational, or political, stemming from the necessity of development, adaptation, and assimilation, and did not fundamentally address the ethical foundation.

I interpret this differently lol. Islam is hivemind, forces conformity, and kills creativity. Thus no new philosophy. Stuck in the 8th century.

I dont think any of the religious texts have a solid comprehensive explanation of morality.

When Shabbir Akhtar states that "there is no system of ethics in Islam" on pages 108-109 of The Quran and the Secular Mind, he is not claiming that Islam lacks moral guidance or principles. Instead, he argues that Islamic morality is fundamentally a system of divine command theory, which he distinguishes sharply from "secular" or philosophical "ethics" as understood in the Western tradition, which typically rely on human reason or abstract principles as their foundation.

Evet islam modifiyelere eklentilere ihtiyaç duymaz zaten icinde insani değerler hazır gelmektedir . İhtiyacınız olan bütün programlar yüklüdür . Bunun yanında müslumanlar islamın sadece ibadeti inanç esaslarini duzenlemekle kalmadığını aklın önemini birlikte karar almanın önemini defalarca vurguladığını siyasi politik bilimsel disiplinin cok onemli olduğunu da vurguladığını , öğrenmek merak araştırmanın gelecek planlamasinin olasi risk hesaplamalarının yapilmasının önlemlerin alınmasının ic ve dış tehditlere karşı savunma mekanizmalarının gelistirilmesinin , fiili savunma askeri savunma kadar fikri ve düşunce alanındaki savunma mekanizmalarının da kurumsallastirilmasinin disipline edilmesinin onemini cok ve cok vurgular . Yani islam ayni zamanda insanı her konuda uyarın ornek olarak Kuran ın her detayı çok hayati önem taşır muslumanlarin güçlü bir medeniyeti inşa edebipmesi için Kuranın yüksek çözünürlukte anlaşılması ve derinlemesine kavranması gerekmektedir her ayet izerinde her bir kelime uzerinde derinlemesine analizler yapılmalıdır yani islam sadece camide veya ibadet ederken yaptıgımız şeyleri düzenlemez bütün bir devlet yönetiminden düşünce yapısına ve diğer her alanda uygulanmasi gereken stratejilere kadar muslumanlara uyarilarda bulunur ve dolayisiyla bu butun sistemde atlanan ve gozden kacan her detay yada yanlış anlasilma veya manipulasyonun sonuçları çok yıkıcı olacaktır. Muslumanlar Kuranın uyarılarını cok iyi anlamak zorundadır çünkü bugun de gordugumuz gibi dunya tehlikeli bir yer bu nedenle detaylar çok önemlidir . Bu konular çokça işlenerek islam toplumunun karakteristiği haline gelmelidir. stratejik zeka bilimsel mantık analitik dusunce gibi konular da islam icin temel ve ödün verilemez kavramlardır. İslamın özgür düşünceye dayalı karakteristiği bilimin temelinin d9ğuda atılmasina ve bir disiplin haline gelmesini sağlayan en temel etkendir. Evet bilimin temeli müslüman bilim adamları tarafından atıldı ta ki moğol istilaları ve onunla birlikte tarikatların tarikatciligin yani skolastiğin doğuya getirildigi , doğudaki bilimsel kaynakların batıya taşındığı gune kadar. Sonuc olarak islamın en buyuk devrimlerinden biri özgür düşüncedir ve herkes emin olmalıdır islam özgür düşünce sorgulama akıl yürütme aklı sonuna kadar kullanmak demektir her turlu dayatma ve baskı aracını yok etmektir. Islam dusmanları hangi alanda olursa olsun islama karsı başarili oluyorsa bu bizim Kuran a yeterince dikkatli bakmadığımızı Kuranı bırakarak bir takım cahil hatta sahte şeyh ve din adamlarini ve sözde alimleri izlediğimizi gösterir çünkü Kuran her şeyin ana formulunu bize veriyor bu durumda nasil herhangi bir alanda bilimde yada stratejik zeka organize olmak gibi konularda geri kalabiliyoruz . Kuran bize butun riskleri onceden hesaplamayi ve hazirlik yapmayi oğütluyor ve planin butun detaylarini veriyor.

The only logical answer is that the Qur’an is not man-made but a revelation from Almighty Allah our creator. We invite you not to follow blindly, but to reflect sincerely. Isn’t it time to read the Qur’an — not as a religious text only — but as a message from your Creator

“Significantly, after the advent of the Quran, in Muslim societies, no system of ethics was born outside the crucible of Islam In the West, by contrast, several comprehensive moral systems were produced by unaided human reflection, both before and after the event of Christianity.
Indeed two of the most influential were developed by ‘pagans’ who took the basis of morality to be individual merit, not divine grace: Aristotle and the Stoics have left us enduring moral legacies. Spinoza created an original ethical scheme and presented it in a geometric mode! Kant and John Stuart Mill constructed ethical systems, deontological and utilitarian respectively, with no or little regard for Christian moral values. Marxist and Nietzschean ethical schemes, if we may call them that, were self-consciously anti-Christian. Many systems of morality developed independently of religion not only in western nations. In China, there is Confucianism– which is not much more than a system of ethics and etiquette.
Muslim civilisation, however, has produced no moral system after the coming of Islam. There could scarcely be a better proof of the strength of the liaison between Islamic religion and morality.”
