Kantian Deontological Ethics Theory

 Many believe that Immanuel Kant's "duty theory" is the most well-known expression of deontology, which is studied and criticized from various perspectives. Reviewing it from the standpoint of Islamic moral foundations is a necessary and significant undertaking.

In this paper research, utilizing an analytical and critical approach, and drawing on sources related to Islamic ethics, we aim to evaluate Kant’s theory in light of the teachings and principles of Islamic morality. Despite the remarkable potential and advantages of Kant's theory, his absolutist methodology and radical rationalism have posed significant challenges, becoming targets for criticism and rebuttals to some of his assumptions and claims. Among these is the accusation of failing to build ethics on religion and the invalidity of such an approach. From the perspective of proponents of religious ethics, these critiques represent, at least, some of the most important weaknesses in Kant's framework and theory.
