Islam and Ethical Decision-Making
March 12, 2008 by Abdur Rahman
Peace, one and all…
In next week’s AS Level Islamic Studies class we will be looking at Islam and Ethics. I’ve asked the group to read the Quran and make notes of any verse they find that has some bearing on the following ethical issues:
-
Medical Issues: abortion, euthanasia, embryo research, life and death, organ donation, etc
-
Environmental Issues: pollution, climate change, use of resources, fossil fuels, etc
-
Inter-personal ethics: how does the Quran ask Muslims to conduct their inter-personal relationships?
-
General attitudes towards ethical questions and ethical decision-making
It strikes me though that this is something we could perhaps all share together. So, if anyone would like to send in their readings of such verses, please feel free to do so. You can respond in the comments section below.
Ma’as salama,
Abdur Rahman
