Elements of Integrity within Muslim Individuals According to the Thought of al-Ghazali

Abstract

Integrity is one of the moral qualities of human that need to be translated into everyday life particularly by Muslim individuals. This attribute will motivate a person to avoid something that could cause him to be considered as an individual without integrity. The characteristics of a person without integrity include deceptive, treacherous, deviant, corruption, money politics and the like. These characteristics could be avoided successfully if the individual tries to adorn himself with elements of integrity. Such elements to be considered are al-Sidq (truthfulness), al-Amanah (fulfilling trusts), and al-Mas’uliyyah (responsible). These elements will be elaborated based on the thought of al-Ghazali (d. 505H) through a selection of his book. This article concludes that these elements are able to establish the quality of integrity within Muslim individuals.
