Who Are The Real Good and The Real Evil?

A person with fear of God shows good character, not only
at particular times, but under all circumstances. His moral
perfection is not dependent on the changing attitudes of
people or of events and conditions around him, but the
consideration of the heavy judgement awaiting in the

hereafter, and facing an outcome from which there is no
return. With these factors in mind, he cannot dare to say a
word or commit anything for which he would fail to give
account in the hereafter. On the contrary, he pursues the
bounties he hopes to attain in the hereafter. In the Qur'an,
God calls man to ponder over the Day of Judgement:
On the Day that each self finds the good it did, and the
evil it did, present there in front of it, it will wish there
were an age between it and then. God advises you to
beware of Him. God is Ever-Gentle with His servants.
(Surah Ali 'Imran: 30)

Consequently, fear of God in one's heart is a sign of being
among the good. A non-God fearing person who does not
observe God's limits inevitably identifies himself with the
alliance of the evil. Possibly, he does not always actively
participate in this wicked alliance, but, considering that
conditions may develop at any time to in such a way as to
prepare the appropriate ground for becoming involved in
acts of wickednesss, he may, deliberately or not, side with the
evil ones against the good.
God informs believers who the worst people are: "The
worst of creatures in the sight of God are those who
disbelieve. They will not believe." (Surat al-Anfal: 55).
Therefore, someone who wants to ally with the good should
definitely be with God-fearing people.
