Abstract
One of the most important achievements of human ethics and culture is this general rule that we should treat others the way we expect them to treat us, and on the other hand, we should not treat others the way we don't like them to treat us. The positive form of this rule is called the "Golden Rule" and its negative form is called the "Silver Rule" of ethics. But it is placed in the heart of a larger moral law, according to which man should behave in such a way that he can give his behavior the form of a general law. This law is called "formula of universal law" and can be found in many different religions and cultures.
This universal moral law can also be found in the Islamic religious texts, i.e. the Qur'an and the Ahadith. In this article, several evidences of the moral teachings of the Qur'an, which can be viewed from the perspective of the universal code of ethics, will be examined.
