Moral values and theirrelationship to happiness in the Islamicworldview "Ibn Rushd as a model "

Abstract

This research examines moral values and their role in achieving tranquility and happiness in the Islamic worldview, specifically according to IbnRushd. IbnRushd believed that virtue is based on the moderation inherent in Islamic doctrine. He considered happiness to be the best of all things, the culmination and ultimate goal of all good, and that the path to achieving it lies in the use of knowledge and study. This means that IbnRushd's description of virtue and happiness aligns with the approach of his predecessors, Al-Farabi and IbnSina, who relied on reason and study. For IbnRushd, the highest degree of happiness is otherworldly happiness, which can only be attained by the virtuous individual in the afterlife. Ethics, in IbnRushd's view, are linked to individual conduct, and their aim is for ethical actions and behavior to emanate from the human soul in accordance with moral values. The soul complements the body, and thus IbnRushd emphasized the absolute unity between the soul and the body. The connection between the soul and the intellect is the means to achieving happiness.
