Abstract:
This study aims to clarify the concept of creed and ethics and the relationship between them in Islam and the status of ethics in the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet. It then explains the moral impact of acts of worship in Islam, highlighting the distinctive characteristics and features of ethics in Islam, which are divine in origin. In this study, the inductive, deductive, and comparative methodologies have been followed. Among the most important findings is that the relationship between creed (faith) and ethics is as close as the relationship between the head and the body. A correct creed is the foundation of good morals, and upright morals are the fruit of a sound creed. The mission of the messengers and prophets - peace be upon them - was fundamentally based on both doctrinal and moral reform. The Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet paid great attention to both. Acts of worship in Islam have a significant impact on a Muslim's behavior and morals. Human beings are in dire need of the correct belief and upright morals to fulfill the mission for which they were created. A sound and correct belief system, along with upright and good morals, are among the most important pillars in building a well-balanced character.
