People inhabiting different countries might follow different ways of life but, according to the Holy Quran, human values are the same anywhere and unchangeable too. It is not given, however, to human intellect to determine such values. Human intellect is essentially individualistic in character. It can seek preservation of the particular self to which it belongs individually or collectively, but not that of the other selves. For the well-being and preservation of mankind as a whole, however, what is needed is not an individualistic intellect, which cannot see beyond its nose, but a comprehensive and all pervading intellect, namely God and Revelation. It is Revelation alone which gives abiding universal values. The revealed values are preserved in the Holy Quran, the code of life for mankind in all times and ages. Quranic values are Permanent Values of life and provide a universal standard of character or, to use Quranic terminology, Taqwa.

Preservation of life is an animal instinct; not so is the preservation
of honour. The concept of honour is unknown to the animal world. In
fact it forms the line of demarcation between the Animal and the Man.
Honour is a specific human value. Preservation of human values
elevates the level of life, from the animal to the human. Character
may, therefore, be defined as who so preserves human values against
animal instincts is a man of character.Islam's main objective is to develop
the character of every human being.The divine pattern to develop a character
has mentioned in Quran. Quran tell us that there are more higher values then
biological means. Character develops by looking after these higher values.
