| Summary: | Religious ethics have been viewed as a top-down system of moral severity that provides rigid restrictions rather than assistance for practical living. This paper aims to explore the elemental root of creative thought with respect to Islamic morality by exploring characteristic morals that
support innovative reasoning. It is discovered that the moral framework of the Qur’an entertains a wide spectrum of choices that affect human actions and development with regard to desirable and undesirable outcomes. An endless flux between a static status quo and dynamic change pushes us
beyond levels of excellence for a more congruently cognizant life experience. The concept of morality expressed in the Qur’an is herein elevated to a conjoined creative realm with a generic connotation of
‘goodness’ with respect to ‘rights’ as a divinely targeted goal. This narrative therefore establishes that divine doctrines—commonly seen as straightforward, strict and static - can be divested of puritan fancies and then released to function well in realms that nurture divergent thought and enhance innovation. |
