Good and evil are concepts which people talk and think about the most
throughout their lives. Some people endeavor "to be a good person" and
"to protect himself and his loved ones from bad people and behavior."
This effort shown to avoid evil is, of course, very important. However,
many people who endeavor in this direction may not have actually thought
how close evil is to them because people who do not live according to
the moral values of the Qur'an determine good and evil in terms of
theirown beliefs, thoughts, worldview and sociocultural tendencies.On
the contrary, the source from which we can truly learn what good and
evil is, is the Qur'an and the sunna of the our Prophet (saas). Allah
sent the Qur'an to people to reveal right and wrong and to bring them
from the darkness to the light. What good and evil is, and the reasons
that lead a person to evil are revealed in the Qur'an. In one verse it
is revealed:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"Or do those who perpetrate evil deeds suppose that We will make them
like those who have faith and do right actions, so that their lives and
deaths will be the same? How bad their judgement is!" (Surat
al-Jathiyya, 21)
Good?
The Real Good Revealed in the Qur'an is the Attitudes of Those Who Fear
Allah and Abide by His Commands
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"... Rather devoutness is possessed by those who have fear of Allah...."
(Surat al-Baqara, 189)
A person who fears Allahacts according the good pleasure of Allah and
themoral values of the Qur'an in every situationhe or she faces, and so
does good deeds throughout his or her life. Knowing that every incident
occurs by Allah'sleave and command, considering everything in terms of
goodness and wisdom, thinking that every deed, hidden or open, will be
faced in the Hereafter lead the individual to always think rightly and
do good deeds.
Good Deeds Erase Bad Deeds
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"…Good actions eradicate bad actions. This is a reminder for people who
pay heed." (Surah Hud, 114)
For as long as they are determined about displaying good moral values,
Allah will take fear and sorrow out of the lives of His servants,
forgive their bad deeds and respond to them with the best of their
deeds:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"As for those who have faith and do right actions, We will erase their
bad actions from them, and recompense them for the best of what they
did." (Surat Al-'Ankabut, 7)
Those Who Follow Allah'sTrue Path Will Attain Salvation
People leading a good life, avoiding secret pains depend on their own
behavior. Allah showed people the way to be happy and to get rid of
troubles; and revealed that this is only possible to follow the true
path Allah showed:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"... But when guidance comes to you from Me, all those who follow My
guidance will not go astray and will not be miserable." (Surah Ta Ha
Suresi, 123)
Evil?
The Source of Evil; The Lower Self and Satan
There are two main sources of evil revealed to people in the Qur'an. One
of these is the lowerself, which every person has, and which constantly
commands a person to do evil. The inner self tries to direct people away
from the right path and drag them to disaster, by the suggestions it
whispers.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"I do not say my self was free from blame. The selfindeed commands to
evilacts – except for those my Lord has mercy on..." (Surah Yusuf, 53)
Another being who is assigned to command people to evil and ugly
behavior, and who is thesupporter of the inner self is "satan." In the
Qur'an it is revealed that satan only calls people toevil as such:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"He only commands you to do evil and indecent acts and to say about
Allah what you do not know." (Surat al-Baqara,169)
Satan Deceives People ByMaking Good Appear As Evil, and Evil As Good
Satan sets forth a varietyof false evidences to convince people that
they are on the right path, despite the fact that they are not abiding
by the morality of the Qur'an. Those whodo not consider these evidences
with a religious perspective would be easily convinced and shape their
behavior accordingly in terms of these false facts.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"If someone shuts his eyes to the remembrance of the All-Merciful,We
assign him a satan who becomes his bosom friend – they debar themfrom
the path,yet they still think they are guided." (Surat az-Zukhruf,
36-37)
The Return of Evil is the Fire
It is revealed in the Qur'an that those who prefer evil will be sent
tothe Fire, an eternal torture that cannot be compared to any pain in
this world, and will stay there eternally as follows:
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan-
"No indeed! Those who accumulate bad actions and are surrounded by their
mistakes, such people are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it
timelessly, for ever;" (Surat al-Baqara, 81)

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
