Abstract

Human history testifies that values have not been changed despite the societies and locations have changed. From the first human being to our times, almost in every society it is accepted that it is not right to kill someone, to steal, and to say lie. This situation shows that values or moral principles come from the same source. Islam already accepts that Abrahamic religions are divine and share the same core. When the holy books of Abra-hamic religions are examined from that aspect, it is seen that al-most there is no changes in moral principles. Based on the Nobel Qur'an and Bible, the aim of this article is to define fundamental moral principles (at least some of them), which humans agreed on. In that context, it is inferred that some issues, such as, to be truthful, to behave in justice, to do a favour, not to kill a soul, and not to be unfair are from the common moral principles which humanity agreed.
