Abstract:

This article aims to analyze the contribution of Mohamed Abdullah Draz in the development of the theory of the value system in the Holy Quran. It seeks to answer how Draz developed his theory of the value system in the Quran. The paper relies on an analysis of Draz's book “The Moral World of the Quran” focusing on his critique of the treatment of Quranic ethics in Islamic heritage and modern Western thought. It also examines his perspective on theoretical and practical ethics in the Quran. Consequently, he presents his viewpoint on the necessity of a holistic approach to ethics through the moral theory found in the Quran, encompassing both theoretical and practical aspects. In addition, studying ethics through the Quran represents a fundamental approach to understanding ethical theories in Islam and addressing the challenges that impede Muslims from embodying these ethics. Moreover, Draz's study represents the first "objective exegesis" of the Holy Quran undertaken by Muslims in the modern era, signifying a significant advancement in the study of ethics in Islam, despite its integration with modern ethical philosophical approaches.
