Factors Affecting Moral Development with a Qur'anic Perspective

The pillar of Qur'anic morality is God, who is the source of all objective and infinite virtues and perfections. Moral development means being divine in the cognitive, behavioral and emotional aspects through the acquisition of divine attributes and actions, which are exemplified in the attributes and actions of God and the attributes and actions that God has considered desirable for human. Human, in his special nature and creation, has the gift of becoming divinity and deification, and many factors play a role in the flourishing and growth of this talent. Factors affecting moral development from the Qur'an's point of view are of two types: epistemological factors and non-epistemological factors. Instinctive knowledge of virtues and vices (non-acquired epistemological factor), attention and thinking (awakening) and faith are acquired epistemological factors of moral development, and inheritance, nutrition, environmental factors, occult principles, will and authority and righteous action are the non- epistemological factors of this development. This study has been carried out by a library-documentary method and content, descriptive, and inferential analysis, with the aim of examining the factors affecting moral development based on Qur'anic teachings.
