The research aims to explain Islam’s position on the doctrine of “moral grayness,” which the philosopher Ayn Rand spoke about in the context of her talk about objectivism and objectivist ethics. To her, the term “moral grayness” means the acceptance of reality as it is without attempting to improve it. The results of the study, which has made use of the critical analytical approach, include the following: Islam totally rejects the doctrine of “moral grayness”. Rather, it warns that a person must have a positive attitude towards the moral issues that happen around him. A person's responsibility towards society is to strive for its improvement and to build awareness among its members. A Muslim is not someone who escapes from responsibility in “metaphysical submissiveness.” Hence, it is incumbent upon a person not to hesitate in declaring moral judgments. Nothing can corrupt and destroy an individual and society more than “moral agnosticism.” Therefore, the superiority of this nation lies in its role of enjoining good and forbidding evil, which contradicts the doctrine of “moral grayness.” This doctrine differs from neutrality, objectivity, and moderation, just as objectivist philosophy differs from objective philosophy, as is explained in detail in this research.
