| Social ethical life refers to a type of ethics concerned with human relations with others at various levels. The concept of ummah, as a notion closely related to social collectivity in religious thought, is also regarded as one of the central concepts in social ethical life. The components of ethical life are examined in two domains: macro and micro. In the macro domain, systems of education, social security, and political and economic order provide the necessary infrastructure for forming social ethical life. In the micro and interpersonal domains, the components of social ethical life are categorized across three dimensions: belief, inclination, and action. These include views of tawḥīd, humanity, and the world in the domain of belief; love and hate in the domain of inclination; and such concepts as benevolence, fulfilling promises, truthfulness, good opinion, charity, forbearance, gentleness and tolerance, chastity, and modesty in the domain of action. Ultimately, commitment to the principles and teachings of social ethical life leads to solidarity among different segments of society, a sense of responsibility toward members of society, and the prioritization of collective interests over individual interests. |
