Abstract
Background and Aim: Worship has an important place in Islam which, in addition to cultivating and purifying the soul of individuals, is also a factor in improving the social life of human beings. Islamic worship, by promoting the idea of people living well together, shows certain manifestations of biological ethics, some of which are mentioned in this study.
Materials and Methods: Descriptive-analytical method is considered as the method of the present study, based on which by analyzing and interpreting verses and hadiths, as well as using related sources and articles in the field of worship and bioethics, to study the issue has been addressed.
Findings: Bioethics in prayer promotes a culture of humility and modesty, politeness and decency, as well as an invitation to monotheism and unity, which ultimately leads to public peace; Fasting is a manifestation of patience, silence and patience in the face of society's challenges; Zakat, khums, almsgiving and endowment make economic and social moral reform their top priority, which, by rejecting materialism and promoting sound economic and social practices, become the banner of the struggle against oppression and the multiplication of wealth; Hajj is also a universal symbol for joining the boundless sea of truth and confronting the manifestations of Satan in different historical periods.
Conclusion: Bioethics in Islam, as seen in its rulings, is not an individual matter and based on the separation of moral spheres from social spheres. Therefore, the set of rules of Islam and its worships are presented in order to reform and promote bioethics, which both seek individual happiness and show us social reform as a means to achieve happiness. Introducing and identifying the moral aspects of worship as well as preventing the distortion of the religious teachings of Islam is an important part of the process of reconciling Islamic bioethics in society that should be given more attention.
