Exploring the moral principles in the early Islamic era, this paper seeks to explain
that Pre-Islamic Arabs’ acceptance of Islam was gained by, in addition to the
Prophet’s good character, some moral values and principles institutionalized in
the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula. To understand better what was going on
in the early period of Islam, it would be necessary to recognize the element of
“invitation”. Its assessment can lead us to realize the epistemological relation
between Islam and some moral principles. In this paper, I claim that it was not
possible for people to accept the Prophet’s invitation if there had not been certain
moral beliefs, and to accept Islam they needed to believe in some moral
principles. Appealing to historical cases and analyzing moral concepts, I attempt
to show that principles such as “loyalty”, “honesty”, and “benevolence” were
generally accepted by the audience of divine revelation before Islam and it was
on the basis of these values that the Prophet successfully managed to invite
people.
