THE ALLIANCE OF THE GOOD

While establishing their unification, they look for certain
traits in a person; he has to turn away from God's religion,
turn a blind eye to wickedness, readily commit evil acts, all
the while, not feeling any pangs of conscience. The presence

of a person who lives by the moral values of the Qur'an upsets
the evil ones greatly. Hearing a single word reminding them
of good character, righteousness, or honesty, is intolerable
since such words would evoke the voice of their conscience
which they never wish to hear. That is the reason why the
wicked only enjoy the company of the wicked. They are made
happy by the presence of the wicked. They greatly wish for
the strengthening of their evil union since they know a strong
alliance of the good would harm them. For instance, a thief
enjoys the company of thieves. Alternatively, homosexuals all
speak the same language. No matter where they are, they find
each other and are rarely apart from one another. That is
because they are never despised for their wickedness among
their own, but rather, are encouraged by people sharing the
same values. A person who slanders innocent people only
feels at ease when he is surrounded with slanderers like

himself. He listens to their views, boasts about his
"accomplishments" and asks for their advice. In return, his
companions tell him about their own immorality, the cruelty
they have committed and the slandering they have done.
So, what is meant by the alliance of the evil is this
attraction of the wicked to one another. If there is anyone
around who questions their wicked deeds, it terribly annoys
them. That is why they never want to see such person
around, and why the evil ones only enjoy the company of one
another.
