Page 17 - The Silent Language Of Evil

which many may not want to accept as elements of evil.
The reason is that those who don't live according to the Qur'an
have their own measures of truth and falsehood. They determine
their concepts of good and evil on the basis of their own beliefs,
thoughts, attitudes and social education. However, the one place
where we can learn the real meaning of good and evil is the
Qur'an—the Holy book that Allah has sent to teach people right and
wrong and to bring them from darkness into Light. Prophet
Muhammad (saas) emphasized the importance of learning the
Qur'an and teaching it to others, thus:
"The best among you [Muslims] are those who learn the Qur'an and
teach it to others." (Sahih Bukhari)

In the Qur'an, Allah explains what good and evil are and shows
what draws a person toward evil. The Qur'an tells us that true good
resides in the behavior of those who fear Allah and observe the lim-
its He has set: "... rather devoutness is possessed by those who
guard against evil... " (Surat al-Baqara: 189)
Whatever happens to him, a person who fears Allah will be-
have in a way that will please Allah and in accordance with the
Qur'an. At every moment of his life he will exhibit this commend-
able behavior. A person will be led to always think and act rightly if
he knows that everything that happens around him occurs under
Allah's control and that everything happens for a good reason—and
if he considers that in the Afterlife, he will be confronted with every-
thing he has done both openly and in secret. Therefore, to be able to
live a good life in the true sense, a person must fear Allah, believe in
the Afterlife and make it his purpose to win Allah's favor. According
to the Qur'an, behavior that does not conform to these standards is
not truly good.
