Amin says in the introduction to his book Ethics:

"The purpose of this book is to be a guide for students in their moral life, draw them to themselves, explain to them the most important theories of morality, broaden their view of the daily actions presented to them, and sharpen their will to perform duty and acquire virtue.

I took into account the practical aspect more than the theoretical aspect. Because delving into theories is the luck of philosophers, and acting in accordance with what morals require is the duty of all people. Moral life depends more on the spirit that inspires action than on the rules of science.
