According to Tomas Paul and Linda Elder of the Foundation
for Critical Thinking, "most people confuse ethics with behaving in
accordance with social conventions, religious beliefs, and the law", and
don't treat ethics as a stand-alone concept. Paul and Elder define ethics as
"a set of concepts and principles that guide us in determining what
behavior helps or harms sentient creatures". The Cambridge Dictionary of
Philosophy states that the word ethics is "commonly used interchangeably
with 'morality' ... and sometimes it is used more narrowly to mean the moral
principles of a particular tradition, group, or individual."
Ethics concerns itself with what is good or right in human interaction. It is considered to be ethical in behaviour if one does not merely consider what is good for oneself, but also considers what is good for others. Here, the interaction between one self and others in the society must be of quality interaction.One must also not neglect one own interest as a sense of own well-being is prerequisite for balanced and ongoing interaction with the other people. The interest of others however, must also be taken into consideration to avoid one's selfishness. Ethics ensure the interests of both oneself and others.
Ethics is the knowledge that differentiates between what is right and wrong, explain the actions that one should take and not take, or set the objectives of one's action and guiding them the route that should be taken.
According to the Islamic teachings, Muslims have to guard their behaviours, deeds, words, thoughts and intentions. Adhering to a specific moral code and ethical behaviour is compulsory because this is part of Islamic faith (iman). Islam asks its believers to observe certain norms and moral codes in their family affairs; in dealings with relatives, neighbours, and friends; in their business transaction; in their social affairs, nay in all spheres of private and public life (Sabahuddin Azmi, 2007).
