Abstract
Postmodern ethical thought is not in line with Islamic spiritual ethics as modernism and postmodernism are Western ideas that have no place in Islam. This library study briefly elaborates the history of ethical development in the Islamic world and the spiritual ethics from the Islamic perspective. It also surveys the thought of postmodernism as well as postmodernism and religion as they need some deliberation for the interrelation between religion and ethics. As far as spiritual ethical thoughts are concerned, a discourse of the postmodernist ethical thought is given an emphasis to comprehend the ethical thought of postmodern supporters. An understanding of the ethos draws us to a conclusion that reconciliation between postmodernist ethical thought and Islamic spiritual ethics is impossible.
Highlights
In the era of Christianity, the practice of understanding nature and God by reason was replaced by faith (Taylor 1985)
As Western people are in search for the most appropriate definition for religion, it implies two points of view: postmodernist ethical thought is not grounded by religious principles, and God as well as religion are not part of it
Postmodernist thought of ethical relativism implies a subjectivity of moral right and wrong; it changes by the transition of time, place, individuals and societies
Summary
In the era of Christianity, the practice of understanding nature and God by reason was replaced by faith (Taylor 1985). Man’s perception on ethics changed because Islam shows the moral right and wrong from its religious perspective but it acknowledges customary-based ethics that are not contrary to its teachings. The principles of Islamic ethics are grounded in the logical and rational reasons as Islam acknowledges its value to determine matters of moral right and wrong.
