Encyclopedia of Good Morals

The word "akhlaq" (morals) in Arabic is the plural of "khuluq," which refers to a person's innate character and disposition. God Almighty says: "And indeed, you are of a great moral character" (Quran 68:4). As Al-Tabari says, "Great character" refers to the great manners, specifically the manners of the Quran, which God instilled in him, namely Islam and its laws. Ibn Abbas (may God be pleased with him) said: "He was upon a great religion, which is Islam." Mujahid said regarding the verse "great character": "Religion." Aisha (may God be pleased with her) said, when asked about the character of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him): "His character was the Quran." Qatadah said: "She meant: as it is in the Quran." "Khalaq" refers to the virtues a person acquires through their character. God Almighty says: "He will have no share in the Hereafter" (Quran 68:2). It has also been said that "khalaq" means portion or share, and it is rarely used except for a portion of good. "Khaliqa" means nature, and its plural is "khala'iq." "Khilqa" means innate disposition. In both linguistic and technical terms, character is one's disposition and nature, whether good or bad; it encompasses custom, nature, religion, and virtue, or it is a stable quality within the soul that influences the behavior of the individual and society, and may be praiseworthy or blameworthy.
