The research aims to examine the impact of the ethical and social dimension on achieving sustainable social development, by exploring the guidance and objectives derived from Qur’anic verses in this regard, which have a significant influence on social development, while highlighting the importance of this influence in people’s lives to ensure the sustainability of social development among members of communities. The study relies on the inductive-deductive method, and within this framework, adopts the analytical approach. The results revealed, most importantly, that chastity and livelihood, truthfulness, and trustworthiness are the core of a pure, genuine life for any human civilization; through them, honor is preserved, lineages protected, and societies distinguished. The Qur’an has established a comprehensive ethical and social system that places values at the center of human and social development. Key Recommendations: Integration of Qur’anic values into development and educational curricula, and promotion of applied maqasid-based studies to cultivate value-consciousness that contributes to forming virtuous, active citizens in society.
