This scholarly article undertakes a comprehensive and critical investigation into the intricate ethical foundations that underpin the prophetic message as articulated within the rich tradition of Islam, meticulously examining how these ethical principles are expressed in the Qur’anic discourse while also considering their far-reaching implications within the broader realm of philosophical ethics. The research draws upon a multitude of interdisciplinary approaches that include but are not limited to Qur’anic exegesis, the study of prophetic traditions known as Sunnah, the exploration of Islamic philosophy, and the application of comparative moral theory, thereby situating itself at the intersection of various academic fields. In particular, the study devotes considerable attention to the life of the Prophet Muhammad, who is portrayed as a dynamic moral exemplar, while also exploring the complex interplay between divine command, human intention, and the concept of virtue within the framework of Islamic ethical thought. The research findings reveal that the ethical principles derived from prophetic teachings provide a multidimensional framework that is not only deeply rooted in spiritual values but also possesses a moral universality that bridges the gap between traditional Islamic virtues and contemporary ethical concerns, such as the recognition of human rights, the acknowledgment of pluralism, and the insights provided by moral psychology. Additionally, this article engages critically with contemporary literature on Islamic ethics, identifying significant areas that warrant further research and practical application in the domains of education and public policy.
