IV. Ethics and Morality
As “Tamhid al-usul” unfolds, ethical considerations take center stage. Shaykh al-Tusi expounds on the notion of morality as intrinsically linked to divine attributes, asserting that understanding God’s attributes is crucial to adhering to ethical principles. The discussion encompasses the nature of good and evil, emphasizing an objective moral order grounded in Islamic teachings.
This ethical framework provides readers with a paradigm to assess their actions against the backdrop of a structured moral system. The promise of clarity in moral decision-making is particularly resonant in an age characterized by ethical relativism. It encourages a commitment to fostering virtues like justice, compassion, and integrity.
