اصلاح معاشرہ میں اخلاقی اقدارکا کردار(سیرت نبویہ کی روشنی میں)

Abstract

Social reform and moral values have been intricately intertwined since the beginning of human civilization. These elements are so closely connected that their separation would destabilize the foundation of an ideal society. Social values encompass not only ethics governing interpersonal relationships but also principles influencing economic and political life. While much has been written on business ethics, this paper focuses on moral values that directly impact individual and societal life, essential for social stability. Morality consists of both good traits ("Akhlāq-e-Hasanah") and bad traits ("Akhlāq-e-Sayyi'ah"). Good character is defined by actions that are rationally and religiously commendable, while bad character manifests in reprehensible actions. A stable society is unattainable without morality, as societal reformation is dependent on individual transformation. True reformation requires improving individuals’ inner dispositions, not just material progress. Hence, the foundation of a just society lies in adopting and practicing moral values to eliminate injustices, exploitation, and conflicts.
