Dimensions of Women's Morals in Islam: Analysis of Religious, Individual, and Social Ethics

Annisa Almutiah Harahap

Abstract


Morality (akhlak) is an essential aspect of Islamic teachings that reflects the quality of faith and personal character, including that of Muslim women. In social reality, however, there remain understandings and practices of morality that are not fully integrated across spiritual, personal, and social dimensions. This study aims to examine the concept of women's morality in Islam, encompassing morality toward Allah, oneself, parents, and society. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, analyzing primary sources such as the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as classical and contemporary Islamic literature. The findings indicate that women's morality in Islam is comprehensive and interconnected, with obedience to Allah serving as the foundation for the development of personal, familial, and social morality. Values such as trustworthiness, responsibility, empathy, and cooperation emerge as key characteristics in social life. Future studies are recommended to explore the implementation of women's morality in contemporary social contexts through empirical approaches

Keywords
