Morality in Islam encompasses the concept of righteousness, good character, and the body of moral qualities and virtues prescribed in Islamic religious texts. The principle and fundamental purpose of Islamic morality is love: love for God and love for God's creatures. The religious conception is that mankind will behave morally and treat each other in the best possible manner to please God.

Teachings on morality and moral conduct constitute a major part Islamic literature. The Quran and the Hadith – the central religious texts of Islam – serve as the primary source for these teachings. Both sources often instruct Muslims to adopt a morally upright character. Hadith quote Muhammad as saying 'I was sent to perfect the ethical conduct'. Showing kindness to people and charity to the poor and the helpless are the most emphasized moral virtues in the Quran.[6] In particular, helping people in their time of need, forgiving others' offenses, respecting parents and elders, fulfilling promises, being kind to people and to animals, being patient in adversity, maintaining justice, being honest, and controlling one's anger appear as major virtues in the Islamic concept of morality

Hadith condemn liars, promise breakers and cheats; command love -- love of God and those God loves, love of his messenger (Muhammad) and of believers; as well as many other virtues.
