The factors of and barriers to moral transformation are considered as important issues in ethics and education. In the meantime, less noted is the impact of the element of "free will ". Man’s optional act can be analyzed in the form of "good deeds" in the Qur'an. Regardless of the primary factors of generating motivation for a good deed, such as education and training, what affects the continuity of a moral act and its generalizability to other moral traits is that it should be done by free choice. The results of this study indicate that on the one hand, optional performance of good deeds leads to strengthening and sustaining the act and, on the other hand, at least in the case of some moral traits, the formed habits generalize to other traits; that is, when the person repeats and continues a special moral trait, he will attract other moral traits as well. Generalizability of free will includes negative changes in immoral traits as well. For example, the good trait of "invocation of God" and the bad trait of "sensual passion" have been investigated as examples of both groups.
