Abstract

This study addresses the topic of ethics in the Holy Quran and its psychological impact on the individual and society from an interpretive and analytical perspective. It focuses on three central Quranic virtues: honesty, humility, and forgiveness. The study seeks to highlight the relationship between ethics and the psychological dimension, and to demonstrate how moral commitment enhances the individual's psychological health and the social stability of society.

The research was divided into a main section entitled: Islamic Ethics in the Holy Quran, from which three topics emerged: The first topic: Honesty in building the individual and society, the second topic: Humility and its psychological impact on the individual and society, and the third topic: Forgiveness and its psychological impact on the individual and society.

The study relied on an interpretive and analytical approach, tracing relevant Quranic verses, analyzing their linguistic and semantic connotations, and linking them to psychological and social dimensions. The results demonstrated that morality in the Quran is not merely theoretical values, but rather practical tools for creating a psychologically balanced individual and a socially cohesive society.
