Islamic Ethics introduces the centrality of ethics as the most critical subject in directing the religious-social practice of the Muslim community. It introduces the field of ethics by reinvestigating the Islamic juridical heritage in the classical sources and their application in the contemporary Muslim societies. Until now, Islamic ethics has been studied as part of the philosophical discourse that has been greatly influenced by the Greek ethical tradition traced back to Aristotle. This study marks the departure from that Orientalist approach to uncover the path followed by Muslim legal scholars in the development of the juridical methodology to derive the Shari'a. The juridical methodology is deeply rooted in Islamic textual sources-the Qur'an and the Sunna (Tradition)-and the scholarly appraisal of these sources. Islamic texts are imbued with moral principles that have guided the religious-moral practice (the orthopraxy) in all its private and public facets to provide reliable practice for the organization of the community and its institutions. The important finding of the present study underscores the close working relationship between religious and secular in Islamic ethics, simply because of the integrated nature of God's rights and human rights in juridical theology. The study demonstrates the need to go beyond philosophical ethics to underscore the importance of ethics to the formulation of religious-moral procedures based on reason and revelation in Muslim interpretive jurisprudence.

Since the revolution of 1978-79, the Islamic regime has justified its rule on the basis of the doctrine of ""righteous jurist"". The author of this study shows this concept to have no parallel in Sunni Islam and seeks its origins in the Sunni/Shi'ite schism following the death of the Prophet.
