Abstract
Although moral values are universal, their application varies in different cultures. To Aristotle moral values are the result of habitual adherence to them. They become second nature. Galen combined the innate nature and temperaments. Al-Mawardi divided the origin of morality into two main branches: (a) The innate ones, (b) The voluntary character, which emanates from the training and using our faculties. Muslim philosophers tried to combine Aristotle and Galen; Miskawaih defined morality as being innate, controlled by instincts and humors, but definitely can be changed by training, cultivation, and culture. The motive and intention play an important role in the formation of moral character. In Islam, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that acts will be judged in accordance with the intention. If the motive is good and the act is good, the person will be rewarded by God; however, if the act is good and the motive is bad, the person will be punished for it.
