Relationship between Morals and Faith
Some people think that faith and morals may not necessarily be related. In Islam, any reform on an individual or social level must start with moral transformation. This moral transformation may be encouraged by an appeal to either patriotism, the power of law, or inherent kindness. However, to have profound and sustainable moral elevation, it must be concurrent with the moral code that is revealed by God, which in itself is not temporary due to certain circumstances or basic benefits.
The Qur’an says what means: { Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls)}(Ar‐Ra'd 13:11).
Elsewhere it says what means: {Because Allah will never change the Grace which he hath bestowed on a people until they change what is in their (own) souls: and verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all thing)}(Al‐Anfal 8:53).
These verses depict the rise and fall of different ancient civilizations. According to the second verse, these people were deprived of all the blessings and luxuries bestowed on them by God because of their bad deeds and ungratefulness to Him.
If any act is preformed with good intentions and within the boundaries God has permitted, it is considered an act of worship.
The relationship between faith and morals is frequently mentioned in a verse that is repeated frequently in the Qur’an and says what means: {Those who believe and did good deeds}(Saad 38:24). This verse indicates that to have true faith, good deeds are essential.

This relationship is also clarified in many sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. For example, it was reported that he once told his Companions that the most beloved to him and the closest to him in the hereafter is the one who has the best manners (Ahmad). The Prophet also said: "The best of the believers in faith are those who are the best in morals" (Narrated by At‐Tabarani).
The Prophet’s grandson Al‐Hassan also said that true faith is not only by wishing or pretending to have faith, but it is the true belief of one's heart which is verified by good deeds
