Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A History of Muslim Philosophy Volume 1, Book 2 Chapter 8: Ethical Teachings of the Qur’an Ethical Teachings of the Qur’an by B.A Dar, M.A, Fellow Institute of Islamic Culture, Lahore (Pakistan) Values As it has been explained in the preceding chapter, the real goal of man, according to the Qur'an, is the assimilation of divine attributes.

These attri­butes, as also shown in the same chapter, can be summarized as life, eternity, unity, power, truth, beauty, justice, love, and goodness. Life God is the living one Himself[^1] and gives life to others.[^2] The moral laws enunciated in the Qur'an are life‑giving and life‑enriching[^3] and, therefore, by living in this world in accordance with these laws man is able to realize one of God's attributes.

If anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.[^4] On the social plane, the importance of life on this earth is duly emphasized.
