The Holy Quran is a book whose knowledge and miracles are endless, if we ruminate its verses (ayat) in philosophical and moral aspect, we will find that the Holy Qur'an includes it and adds to it in terms of consistency and clarity, it is a holy book that everyone understands regardless of his or her educational, cultural and knowledge level, For example, the phrase “I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Satan”, refers to desire to give up sins.

We also discussed the meanings of “Basmallah” (In the name of Allah, The All-Merciful, The Ever-Merciful), and how it calls for virtue and good morals, and the meanings of “Praise be to Allah” which calls for elevation, and “You alone we worship; and upon You, we call for help” in Surat Al-Fatiha, and how It calls for the worship of God alone and freedom from servitude to anyone other than God, Which leads to “the straight path”, or “the right path “ mentioned in Surat Al-Fatiha.

It was said that being on the straight path is one of the greatest dignities, this research discusses meanings, connotations, and Moral philosophy in the word of God: “Guide us along the straight path” (Surat Al-Fatiha: 6), and how that leads to straightness, rectitude and moderation, this research also discusses meanings of “the straight path”, as interpreted by scholars and philosophers, and how some scholars regard it as the overarching virtue of the three main virtues, namely: Wisdom, which is the virtue of mental strength.
