### *Key Characteristics of the Book: *

*1. Main Theme*
The book is a scholarly analysis of the ethical teachings of the Qur’an. Dar’s central thesis: *the real goal of man, according to the Qur’an, is the assimilation of divine attributes*. Ethics is not just rules, but becoming godlike in character.

*Life, Eternity, Unity, Power, Truth, Beauty, Justice, Love, and Goodness*.
The entire Qur’anic ethical system revolves around these 9 values.

*3. Style & Approach*
- *Academic/Philosophical*: Not a sermon or simple tafsir. It analyzes concepts systematically.
- *Direct Qur’anic basis*: Every ethical concept is backed with Qur’anic verses.
- *Comparative*: Compares Qur’anic ethics with Greek and Western moral philosophy.
- *Language*: Written in English, published by Institute of Islamic Culture, Lahore.

*4. Major Topics Covered*
- *Individual ethics*: Truthfulness, trust, chastity, avoiding unlawful things
- *Social ethics*: Justice, benevolence, treatment of parents, rights of orphans
- *Tazkiyah & repentance*: How moral purity is restored after sin
- *Prohibitions*: Adultery, fornication, homosexuality, prostitution – condemned with Qur’anic evidence
- *Social responsibility*: "Exhort one another to Truth and to endurance" – Surah Al-Asr 103:1-3 – making ethics a collective duty

*5. Connection to Larger Work*
This material also appears as *Chapter 8: "Ethical Teachings of the Qur’an"* in _A History of Muslim Philosophy_, Volume 1, Book 2, edited by M.M. Sharif.
