Ways To Uplift Morals:The Philosophy of The Teachings of Islam- Based on Promised Messiah's Writing.

DawudTalut

Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you.
FIRST REFORMATION
There are basic instructions given in Holy Quran which pulls human from raw state to initial state of morals. These instructions are about good manners, good speaking, walking, security, permitted food, marriage related, children, social values, cleanliness, greetings, entering houses, dress, journey, sitting in company, mercy on animals and avoiding satanic ways etc and they rescue human from animal existence. [For example, references from Holy Quran (at alislam.org/quran):: (4:24), (4:20), (4:23), (4:30) (5:6) --- (6:152) --- (24:28-29) --- (2:190) --- (4:87) --- (5:91) -- (5:4) --- (5:5) --- (58:12) --- (7:32) --- (33:71) --- (74:5-6) --- (31:20) --- (2:198) --- (5:7) --- (51:20) --- (4:4-5)]

These reforms are intended to make human a civilized social being. They are about elementary human behaviour. They do not mention higher moral qualities.. Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was sent in people who lacked elementary rules of social behaviour.


Prohibition of Flesh of Swine…..It is to be noted especially that God has indicated prohibition of eating swine in its very name ‘Khinzeer’ which is compound in Arabic of ‘khanz’ and ‘ara’ i.e. I see it very foul. In Hindi, this animal is called ‘Su-ar’ which is compound of ‘su’ and ‘ara’ which again means ‘I see it very foul’ It has been established in book ‘Minan ur Rahman’ [by Promised Messiah (on whom be peace)] that Arabic is mother of all languages and its words have found ways in other languages.….. Food affects body, soul and moralsl. Even pre-Islamic Greek physicians had opined that flesh of this animal, by property, reduces faculty of modesty and increases shamelessness.


SECOND REFORMATION
In this stage, above mentioned initial states of morals are reformed to high moral qualities. It has two essentials:

i-Moral Qualities Related to the Discarding Evil…..These are the morals, through which one tries not to hurt anyone else’s wealth, honour or life with his tongue, hands, eyes or with any other limb.
a---Chastity. (17:33), (24:31-32 and 34), (57:28)
b---Honesty and integrity. (2:189), (4:3), (4:59), (8:59), (17:36), (4:6-7), (4:10-11), (26:184)
c---Not hurting anyone else and being peaceful. (4:129), ( 8:2), (8:62), (25:64), (25:73), (41:35)
d---Good talk with others. (2:84), (17:37), (49:12-13)

ii-Morals Qualities Related to the Bringing Good…… Following moral should be practiced at proper occasion and time, otherwise they will not be morals.
a---Forgiving others if it leads to improvement. (3:135), (42:41)
b---Justice.(16:91)
c---Doing good without anyone’s demand. (2:78), (2:196), (2:265), (2:268), (3:93), (3;135), (4:37,38), (9:60), (13:22,23), (17:27), (16:91),(25:68), (51:20), (76: 6,9,10),
