Objective morality can only be found in scripture stating what are believed to be the laws of God ie the Koran. If it is generally accepted that morality should be defined as a system of rules designed to keep the group in existence and apart from others, then it will generally be accepted that laws define public morality, for to break them would make one a criminal with a criminal record.
Private morality must therefore be the attitude of the individual as regards obeying those laws and there will be individuals who obey the law because they think it is the right thing to do, and those who only obey because they wish to avoid punishment.
