The decline of moral sensitivity toward religious and social values is one of the phenomena that has attracted the attention of researchers in social sciences and Islamic ethics in contemporary societies. One of the key concepts in this field is “ghayrah” (moral jealousy), which in Islamic culture is recognized as a factor for protecting moral, religious, and social boundaries. However, the weakening of this moral trait can have consequences in both individual and social spheres. The main issue of this research is to examine the concept of ghayrah and analyze the consequences of its decline in individual and social life from the perspective of Islamic teachings. The aim of this study is to define the concept of ghayrah in lexical and Islamic ethical sources and to analyze the effects and consequences of the weakening of this moral virtue at individual and social levels. This research seeks, by using Quranic teachings, narrations (hadith), and the views of Islamic scholars, to clarify the position of ghayrah in the Islamic ethical system and to show how this trait plays a role in maintaining the moral health of society. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on library studies. In this method, the concept of ghayrah is first examined in lexical and ethical sources, and then its functions and social consequences are analyzed through the study of Quranic verses, narrations, and the views of Islamic scholars. The data has been collected from exegetical, hadith, and ethical sources and analyzed using an interpretive approach. The findings show that ghayrah in Islamic ethics is considered a spiritual trait associated with faith and commitment to divine values and plays an important role in preserving the moral integrity of society. Its decline can lead to consequences such as weakening of moral sensitivity, reduced social responsibility in protecting values, instability of moral and cultural security, and ultimately a gradual transformation of the religious and cultural identity of society.
