As research in language of morals grows due ‎to its effects on general study of ethics, the present paper views as important the study of ‎Muslims contribution in methodology and as well in the study of expression used to denote ‎moral choices, judgments, optional actions and ethics of language usage. Moral issues in ‎these areas integrate with those of other Islamic studies. The paper concludes with a ‎proposed methodology for the analysis of language of Moral in Islamic Heritage
