"Ethics" is typically interpreted in the Western philosophical tradition, which emerged from classical Greece and was developed by Christian and Islamic philosophers, as the systematic philosophical study of appropriate objects of moral value. In Judaism, the concept of morality has changed over time. Like from traditional to the modern one.
There is a reformation in Judaism. Its informal beginnings among German Jews in the 1810s and 1820s were where it first gained popularity, and it quickly spread throughout central and western Europe. Geiger and the Reform movement that followed him identified the "essence of Judaism" in the concept of a one, all-powerful God who brought people together in his service by emphasizing universal moral principles.
Christian ethics go much beyond morals, values, and behavioral norms. The ethos of Christianity, or its core values, are Christian ethics. Christian ethics is based on the two tenets that humans can only be truly happy when they obey God's norms for conduct, which are ultimately based in love.
The early and second centuries of Christianity were austere (self-denying) and leaning toward legalistic practices. Then, the themes of social justice, which have grown to be important in post-Enlightenment Christianity, are strongly illustrated by the Social Gospel and Liberation Theology. The monastic ethic predominated in the millennium that followed the fall of the Western Roman Empire among both Catholics and Orthodox.
As with its more ancient cousins Judaism and Christianity, Islam can be referred to as "ethical monotheism." The Islamic term for ethics is akhlaq. Islam is not merely formalistic, ignoring inner features like impulses, habits, desires, flaws, wickedness, and the like. Rather, it is an orthoprax religion emphasizing laws and behavior. Regarding the Shari'a, the majority of things are neutral. And any act's moral and legal standing are only taken into account in relation to the actor's intention.
The Qur’an defines righteousness known in Arabic as birr as true piety and true piety. Islam's ethical monotheism is based on the goodness that exists at the very core of God and is manifested in mercy and compassion. God's profound ethical quality is founded on his desire to have connections with thinking, willing, and loving beings on a mutually beneficial basis.
Islam does not recognize original sin, it does admit that there is mysterious wickedness in the world and that humans are the greatest purveyors of it. But the Islamic moral philosophy goes beyond these. A perverse evil that defies responsible and rational awareness is also acknowledged.
The question that should be discussed is How deeply is ethics ingrained in the Scripture? What aspects of God indicate the significance of ethics to monotheism in each of the three traditions? How do worship and ethics intersect in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam? How much does each tradition's formulation of religious ethics take into account the distinction between followers and unfollowers? Law and ethics are intertwined. What meaning does that relationship have in each culture? Do the three traditions have anything in common? What are the variations? Then we can know more deeply that ethics in the three traditions basically are continuing change.
