ever-present menace. If this evil moves you at all and you hope for a
trouble-free world, then you are evidently a person of conscience.
Thus, before vice takes hold of you and blunts your conscience, you
should ally yourself with the good, and for the rest of your life,
devote all your efforts to this cause. Never forget that turning a
blind eye to oppression and watching from the sidelines is oppression.
A conscientious and thoughtful Muslim strives to save not only those
around him, but the society he lives in, and even the rest of
humanity, from violence, conflict, war, immorality and mischief in
general. It is clear that sincerity, conscience, honesty, compassion,
love and respect, will eradicate immorality and all wickedness. In
other words, the unity and co-operation of the good will defeat the
alliance of the evil. In a verse of the Qur'an, God gives glad tidings
regarding this fact:"...Those who believe in him and honor him and
help him, and follow the light that has been sent down with him, they
are the ones who are successful."(Surat al-A'raf: 157)
