Anwsers to Ethical Questions

You can be ethical without being religious. Ethics are just a list of guidelines for us to follow. This could be rules that we might learn in school, social clubs, or in the workplace. People or groups create their own ethics foir the good of the group. Ethics can be based on culture.
During the hunting and gathering era, people work together and share their food. The Indian tribes in America also followed similiar traditions.
Both groups must have had a meeting and discuss ethics for their tribes.

Muslims like other religions originated with a relationship with their god.
I think Muslims are not ethical. They do have some laws that pertain to treating others with honesty and compasionate. Their actions are done for the sake of a harmonious peaceful social life. They do it by living in faith in Allah. Church and state have ideally been the same for Muslims. Muhummad did not just found a religious movement but found a community of believers.
Ethics can be explain by one word "Survival." Any community can't survive without a set of guidelines. Each one of us have a wisdom box of
rules that we live by. Your box could be different from everyone else.
If everyone follows their own wisdom box, our actions collide with each other. No one will accomplish a thing. That's why we need some common rules to help us get along in families, with other people, and especially in our workplace. Ethics are created for the good of the community. They are gear toward appropriate behavior. Unethical behavior hurts everyone.
