This paper discusses the concept of human nature in Islam and in Confucianism. The researcher makes a comparison between the concept of fiá¹­rah in Islam and its relation to Islamic Ethics or ―good character‖, and the concept of ren xing or ―inherently good‖ of Confucianism. In order to explore both concepts vis-à-vis the human nature, the researcher employs textual analysis and comparative methodology on written materials related to the topic. The findings reveal several similarities between the two concepts – fiá¹­rah and ren xing – as both deal with human nature, which includes human characters and behaviours, the merits of good and the vile of evil, and the idea of mind and soul, among others.
