Abstract This paper deals with the criteria of moral values from the point of view of Islam and other schools of ethical thought and the conditions in which these values are proven. Moral values have different levels and can be favorable and unfavorable, positive and negative. Everyone must know the rules and quorums Islam has set for moral values and organize their plans accordingly. The quorum of values is considered as support for and prerequisite of the main values. Some of the levels are specific to the prophets and special Friends of God, which people like us are unable to understand, but many levels of values can be understood and defined and their requisites can be enumerated. Faith in God is the soul of all the values accepted by Islam. The value of each work is determined by the faith in it. Of course, faith has a subtle difference with knowledge; knowledge is achieved by discovering the realities - although without choice or effort - but there is an element of choice in faith; that is, after knowledge, man must accept it and adhere to its principles. Therefore, faith may not exist despite the existence of knowledge, just as Pharaoh knew that Moses was a prophet, but said: " I know of no other god for you but myself. " (Qisas: 38) or "I am your Lord, the Highest" (Nazi’at: 24).
