The prophet Muhammad (saws) said: "I have been sent to perfect the morals". The Quran is the criterion (furqan). Anything that contradicts the Quran is not from Islam.

The following is a collection of some of the moral and ethical teachings of the holy Quran, the book of God. Relevant verses have been gathered together under specific headings. Many verses have been omitted to avoid repetitions and maintain conciseness. A lot of verses mention more than one moral, however very often separate headings have not been created to cover all the morals.

All the verses are taken from the Shakir translation unless stated otherwise.
