However, in the ethical aspect, all religions, including Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, have provided ethical system and emphasis on moral life that is, all encourage good conduct and prohibit bad behavior.

Realizing the importance of this, therefore, this book seeks to present an introduction to the fundamental ethics of two major religions, namely Islam and Buddhism.  Islam and Buddhism are chosen because both are regarded as ethical religions which have their own unique moral teachings or moral systems.
