Divine teachings about Good and Evil

GOOD AND EVIL

The concept of the creation of good and evil has always been a debatable issue amongst scholars. Both have their own peculiar reality. Allah Almighty did not create anything without purpose.

Inner Battle of Good and Evil

If evil had not existed then the reality and truth of good would not have become obvious. There is a perpetual battle between good and evil in this world and the same battle is going on within man. The victory of good in this combat elevates the person to the status of ‘Universal Divine Man.’ Conversely, if evil prevails, the person becomes the manifestation of Satan, infidel, polytheist, hypocrite, disobedient, sinner and arrogant upon his intellect and prayers. If good triumphs in this battle, the person becomes a complete manifestation of Divine compassion, a reflection of the Divine attributes and the representative of good.

Freedom to Choose

Both good and evil are indeed created by Allah but He also gave man the freedom to choose between them. If he chooses good, he will benefit from the compassion and beneficence of Allah but if he chooses evil then he would have to face wrath and punishment. Now it is up to man to decide

Intentions Define the Path

Every exoteric and esoteric reality has two aspects; good and evil. The truthfulness in the person’s intentions is directly proportional to the progress towards good while a hypocritical intention will lead towards evil. Eventually, this journey will reach their respective extremes.

Advancing Towards Good

The more a person advances towards good, the more his ties with evil will weaken

Use Inventions Wisely

Just as the inward of the person contains both good and evil likewise his inventions embody both positive and negative aspects. It is imperative to forsake the detrimental aspects and embrace the merits of these inventions.

Knowing Right from Wrong

Allah has endowed every man with the ability to discern between right and wrong. Mostly people, driven by fear or greed, deliberately incline towards the wrong path.

Inner Conflict of Thoughts

Two kinds of thoughts perpetually contend in our inward. The thought that becomes firm in our mind and heart is right, while the other is wrong.

Guidance vs. Deception

In addition to Satan and self, the spiritual guide also puts thoughts in the inward of the seeker. The thought that inclines towards the spiritual guide is right and which takes away from the spiritual guide is from Satan and self.

Power of Self-Accountability

Self-accountability means that the seeker distinguishes between the right and the wrong in such a way that he rejects the wrong thought which is from the self and follows the right thought which is obviously from Allah

Choose the Harder Right

If on the path of righteousness, the seeker gets two positive ideas then, of the two, he should follow the difficult one. Sometimes the easy idea comes from the self to mislead the seeker.
