Integrity is one of the fundamental moral values that serves as the foundation of both individual and social life. Contemporary moral crises including corruption, abuse of authority, misinformation, and declining public trust—highlight the need to reinforce ethical values rooted in Islamic teachings. This study aims to examine the concept of integrity in the Qur'an and Hadith through the thematic (maudhu'i) interpretation of verses concerning trustworthiness (amanah) and honesty (?idq). Using qualitative library research, the study analyzes primary sources consisting of the Qur'an, authentic Hadith, and classical as well as contemporary tafsir literature, supported by relevant academic publications. The findings indicate that integrity in the Qur'anic perspective encompasses honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, justice, fulfillment of promises, and consistency in righteousness. Prophetic traditions reinforce these values by positioning honesty and trustworthiness as essential characteristics of a true believer. Therefore, Qur'anic integrity provides a comprehensive ethical framework that remains highly relevant in contemporary society.
