Akhlaq, Islamic Behavior, Good Conduct, Morality, Good Manners, Islamic Etiquette

Akhlaq is an Arabic expression alluding to the act of ideals, profound quality and great habits in Islamic Theology and Philosophy (Falsafah). It is most normally interpreted in English as; islamic conduct, demeanor, appropriate conduct, nature, temper, morals, ethics or character (of an individual). 

Akhlaq is the plural for the word Khulq which implies demeanor. "Attitude" is that workforce (Malakah) of the spirit (Nafs) which is the wellspring of that load of exercises that man performs unexpectedly without pondering them. Malakah is a property of the spirit which appears through practice and tedious practice and isn't handily obliterated. 

A specific demeanor (Malakah) may show up in individuals in light of one of the accompanying reasons: 

Regular and actual make up (Fitrah): It is seen that certain individuals are patient while others are sensitive and apprehensive. Some are effortlessly upset and disheartened while others show more prominent opposition and versatility. 

Propensity (Ada): It is shaped in view of constant reiteration of specific demonstrations and prompts the rise of a specific demeanor. 

Practice and cognizant exertion: Which whenever proceeded with long sufficient will ultimately prompt the development of a demeanor. 

Despite the fact that the actual make-up of a singular creates specific attitudes in him, it is in no way, shape or form genuine that man must choose between limited options and is totally constrained to keep the directs of his actual make-up. Actually, since man has the ability to pick, he can conquer the directs of his actual nature through training and exertion, and can get the attitude of his decision. 

Obviously, it ought to be conceded that those attitudes which are brought about by the intellectual capacities like knowledge, memory, mental dexterity and so forth, are not alterable. Any remaining manners, be that as it may, might be changed by man's will. Man can handle his desire, outrage and different feelings and wants, and channel them to illuminate himself and move himself along the way of flawlessness and insight. 

At the point when we discuss man's ability to achieve changes in his attitudes, we don't imply that man ought to annihilate his impulses of generation or self-conservation. Man couldn't exist without these impulses. What we mean is that one ought to try not to go to either limits as to them, and keep a state of equilibrium and control so they might play out their capacities appropriately. Similarly as the seed of a date develops into a productive tree through appropriate consideration, or a wild pony is prepared to serve his lord, so additionally can man achieve flawlessness and intelligence through self-restraint and smart constancy. 

Human flawlessness has many levels. The more prominent the measure of self-restraint and exertion with respect to the individual, the higher the degree of flawlessness that he would achieve. All in all, he remains between two outrageous focuses, the most minimal of which is underneath the degree of monsters and the most noteworthy of which outperforms even the high station of heavenly messengers. The human development between these two limits is examined by ilm al-Akhlaq (Science of Ethics). It is the objective of morals to raise and guide man from the most reduced creature state to that commended position better than that of the heavenly messengers. 

In a hadith from Imam Ali (as) is connected as saying, Allah (SWT) made Angels with acumen however without outrage or want. Also, made creatures with outrage and want however without insight. Also, made man with astuteness (reason), outrage and want. In case man's explanation over powers his displeasure and wants, he ascends to the situation with that higher than holy messengers. However, in the event that his outrage and wants overwhelm his astuteness and reason he becomes lower in status than that of a creature. 

The significance of morals is in this way uncovered. Also, it is a result of the reasons referenced over that morals is viewed as the most lifted up and significant of sciences; Moreover, we realize that man is the noblest of animals, a definitive motivation behind whose presence is to accomplish flawlessness; along these lines, it follows that morals is the noblest of all sciences.
