In his recent book, "Islamic Ethics: Fundamental Aspects of Human Conduct", Dr. Abdulaziz Sachedina highlights how Islamic Ethics is a moral and spiritual paradigm that leads humanity to carry out duties to God and other humans. The social ethics in this ethical system managed the conquered regions of Middle East beyond the legal-religious paradigm of the Shari’a.
