The Conceptual Model of Moral Personality Based on Islamic Sources

This research aimed to identify components of moral personality, present a conceptual model based on Islamic sources, and assess its validity. A mixed-methods approach with an exploratory sequential design was used. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis; quantitative data were collected via a descriptive survey. In the qualitative phase, the concept of moral personality was investigated in psychological and lexical resources, and corresponding Islamic concepts were extracted. Components of moral personality were identified through coding. Analysis of 865 open codes, using axial and selective coding, yielded three component categories: cognitive (spiritual awareness, continuous self-evaluation, beatific, felicitous, blissful, happiness-oriented thinking, optimism-satisfaction), conative (God-oriented emotionality, God-oriented affectivity, trust and hope in God, transcendent, sublime, exalted endeavor, aspiration, tranquility, serenity, endurance, steadfastness, self-sufficiency, lack of need, non-attachment, detachment), and behavioral (behavioral discipline, moderation, temperance, good association, companionship, fellowship, intercourse, altruistic, selfless helping, aid, social tolerance, forbearance). In the quantitative phase, six experts evaluated the conformity of psychological concepts and the compatibility of identified components with Islamic documentation using the content validity index (CVI), confirming 11 concepts and 14 components. Component relationship analysis revealed that the interaction of cognitive and conative components shapes behavioral components, all influenced by faith and its requisites.
