Summary/Abstract: Moral virtues and virtues which are the basis or the foundation of the social structure of societies are often conveyed by literary works, not by legal texts. Because literature who are the national capitals of societies put their moral accumulation of reversal into an attractive literary mold with the arts of speech. To unite in the period of Jahiliyya, Arabs dealt with poetry recording the behaviors they found good in their social relations. Family communication, from the attitude to behave in the presence of a powerful tribal leader has been inspired by many etiquette in poetry, and such poems have become the guide to Arab social life. There are interesting exemplary stories about social virtues not only in poetry but also in prose works. The wealth that the Muslim Arabs had just met, and the urbanization that came with it, resulted in the strengthening of sociality and, as a result of this, social virtues gaining more importance. This is particularly the point brought together by the Abbasid literate to draw attention to in the context of these social virtues. The study aims at classifying the literary material from the classical period to the present day - to speak to the article - into important topics.
