Human Virtues between the Qur'an and Philosophy: A Comparative Analytical Study Based on Juz' Qad Sami'a

Abstract

This research investigates the idea of human qualities by conducting a comparative and analytical study between the Qur'an and various philosophical traditions, with a particular emphasis on Juz' Qad Sami'a. In this research, an inductive analytical technique is used to extract and examine the most important virtues, including but not limited to bravery, altruism, forgiveness, tolerance, knowledge, sincerity, wisdom, and justice. The study compares and contrasts Islamic teachings with philosophical ideas from both ancient and contemporary philosophy, highlighting aspects of agreement and divergence along the way. In contrast to philosophy, which often roots virtues in rational humanism, the results suggest that the Qur'an is better in terms of its complete ethical framework and its supremacy in grounding virtues in divine direction. This study comes to a close with some suggestions for further research on the expansion of virtue ethics across the whole of the Qur'an and its possible applications in contemporary society.
