Abstract
Ethics, as a comprehensive behavioral framework, governs human relationships with God, the self, and others, and defines the modes of living in both individual and social spheres based on moral virtues. The Holy Qur’an, through its guiding principles, leads humanity toward spiritual growth and perfection, establishing a coherent and integrated ethical system for (re)designing the faith-oriented life. Rooted in the principles of monotheism, eternity, duty-centeredness, value-centeredness, free will, and an innate (fiṭrah-based) disposition, this system offers a dynamic and holistic framework for a believer’s way of life. This study aims to provide an analytical investigation into the fundamental characteristics of the Qur’an-based ethical system, addressing the central question of how these attributes can reshape the faith-oriented life in response to the challenges of the contemporary era. It examines the key features of this system that structure and sustain a religious way of living in modern societies. Methodologically, the research employs an analytical–thematic approach grounded in Qur’anic exegesis. The findings reveal that, by integrating theoretical foundations with practical applications, these characteristics make the Qur’an-based ethical system an effective model for addressing contemporary moral and social challenges, while guiding humanity toward both worldly prosperity and eternal salvation. The study concludes by offering practical recommendations and actionable strategies for incorporating this system into current social contexts.
