Morality is the way a particular system of values and principles of conduct, and it is held by either an individual or by society (Superson, 2009) . Morality in Islam can either be personal or public it only depends on how something is taken . Every Muslim is responsible for his/her actions and how an individual live determines the reward he/she will get afterlife thus it is always recommendable for each person to do good and abstain from evil as this will earn them greatest reward from God. In Islam each believes that one is capable of his/her actions; if one does something that is not right, he/she should be punished accordingly because the sin of one person does not reflect the society thus one should suffer personally for his deeds rather than the whole community.
Mostly many Muslims believe that morality is based on a group or the public rather than it being individual; for example, According to Khadduri , (1984) Muslims believe that rendering judgment is the noblest act of devotion and that it is next to God as it is the strongest justification for man's stewardship on earth. All Muslims believe that being kind is a virtue because God himself is kind and merciful to all his people and it is because of his mercy that we live. Doing the right thing matters a lot to the Muslims and being generous is the greatest moral among Muslims. Muslims are encouraged to be generous with their wealth and respond to the humanity’s needs and due to this Muslims believe that spending their wealth with others especially the needy and helping people is their duty and this earns them reward afterlife. Forgiveness is much celebrated in Islam and is the greatest Muslim practice inspired by the Quran. Forgiveness is viewed in two ways that are God’s forgiveness to human beings for their sins and forgiveness among fellow human beings for each other.
