The Notion of “Causation” in the Ethical Proposition of the Caused in the Koran and Tradition

A group of ethical statements in the Koran and narrations consist of explicit causations. At times, the theologian’s serious intention in such causations is vague; this vagueness refers back to the generality of causation or lack of it thereof. Taking advantage of library research, this study achieved the following findings about causations explicitly mentioned in the religious ethical propositions: 1. Although causations stipulated in ethical recommendations are generalizable, they are not meaningful; namely, lack of them do not signify lack of ethical recommendations. 2. The appearance of causation in ethical propositions, unlike jurisprudential propositions, is a final cause, not wisdom. 3. The causations that are not testable and appraisable are accepted out of devotion, and debating about its concept is irrelevant. 4. Sometimes for ethical propositions, the causations are inferred from appropriate theistic, theomorphic or formative facts and knowledge. 5. Stating causations in religious ethical recommendations helps the mind of the audience put at ease, in addition to a general attitude toward ethics.
