Since the rising of Islam, a tremendous amount of literature on morality, ethics, and virtue has been written, for the betterment of societies, in varied aspects—ranging from philosophical, psychological, and historical aspects. No doubt, there is a large amount of literature on Qurʼānic studies, Ḥadīth, Fiqh, philosophy, etc., and their varied branches. One specific genre in the Ḥadīth literature (Ulum al-Ḥadīth), which has seen its flowering from the classical era, is termed as ‘Ḥadīth-based ethics’. It has its evidence in such solid theoretical classical works as Tameer-e-Akhlāq by Al-Ḥārth Muḥāsbī (857 AD); Adab-ul-Mufarrad by Imām Bukhārī (870 AD); Makārim-al-Akhlāq by Ibn-e-Abi Dunya (894 AD); Al-Akhlāq Wa-Siyar by Ibn-e-Ḥazam (994 AD), and many other prolific scholars who made a founding patron and provided ethical mentorship for the societies. To this specific genre, in the pre-modern and modern periods, a modest contribution has been made by the Ḥadīth-Scholars in the Subcontinent (present day India and Pakistan). In this genre, they have consistently emphasized on Akhlāq (ethics) and Tazkiya-e-Nafs (self-purification), and on the ethico-moral lessons of the Prophet’s Seerah. In this context, this study clearly highlights the difference between Ḥadīth-based theoretical works and Seerah books for the promotion of ethics and morality in the Subcontinent both in India and Pakistan, particularly during the last and present (20^th and 21^st) centuries). It also will examine the compiled work, by exploring either deontological and utilitarian approaches or purely Ḥadīth-based theoretical morality based approaches. The major objective of this study is to promote the Ḥadīth-based theoretical philosophy after reviewing the selected purely Ḥadīth-based ethical works, produced in the Subcontinent.
