Hey Kathman i know it's only a couple of hours before the exam and your probably studying like frantic but i've got a perfect answer for Islamic ethics i got fulls marks for this answer in my trial. Question:Select one religious tradition. Describe one source of the ethical system in this tradition.
In Islam the main sourse of the ethical system is the qu'ran, as it is the wrod of Allah interpreted by the one true prophet Mohammed.
In the Sunni variant of Islam the qu'ran is very open to interpretation, and they do not take it as literal text.
In the Shi'at variant of Islam, while they say it is the word of Allah and open to interpretation they tend to take it in the literal sence.
In the Sunni variant, if an ethical question can not be answered by the by the qu'ran they then move to the Haddith, if it can't be solved there they then ask an Iman (a religious leader in Islam) after that they would consult elders in Islam.
In the Shi'at variant, everything must be solved by the Qur'an, because it is the word of Allah interpreted by the one true prophet Mohammed.
You just basically have to remember there sacred texts and the difference's in the variants and u should be fine
