A proper religious perspective must entail the study of virtues drawn both from the scriptures and the teachings of the prophets & messengers of the religion.
Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that it is to be much more than a religion. Through the scriptures and the character of the prophets & messengers (peace be upon all of them) a religion is a view as a comprehensive social, psychological, and that spiritual guide that God governs all domains of our life’s.
Both beliefs and behaviors (practices) are seen as central, interconnected components in living a good life along the path of God, as reflected in the one of the scriptures and/or the Qur’anic verse.
“Whosoever acts righteously—whether a man or a woman—and embraces belief, We will surely grant him a good life; and will surely grant such persons their reward according to the best of their deeds” (16:97).
