Pathology of the Social Ethics’ Performance in the Present Era from Qur'an and Nahj Al-Balaghah’s Viewpoint

There is a hand – to hand relation between practical commitment to moral values, commitment to divine commands and decrees, strengthening religious culture in society and limiting the spread of corruption and non-observance of social principles. The present study’s purpose is the pathology of the performing social ethics in the present era from Qur'an and Nahj Al-Balaghah’s viewpoint. The data collection method is a documentary – librarian that has drawn a semantic inclusion in each category by examining the frequency of verses and chapters of Holy Quran as well as sermons, letters and words of Nahj Al-Balaghah, in the concept of social ethics; and studies the issue based on the verses of Holy Qur'an and Nahj Al-Balaghah by covering three stages of description, analysis and explanation (interpretation). The results show that one of the central and fundamental issues in the field of social ethics is to recognize the factors and obstacles of performing social ethics in the present era. Awareness and education of ethics, promotion of moral values, introduction of moral models, dealing with immoral manifestations and strengthening spirituality in society are effective in achieving social ethics.
