Are Good and Bad the Same?
We all understand the meaning of
good and bad,
and it is easy to distinguish a
good person from a bad
one.A good person has good manners,
good behavior,
is honest and truthful, loves justice
and is
polite and trustworthy.But a bad
person has bad
manners and bad behavior, tells
lies and bullies.Other
people, and is impolite and deceitful.Do you think
that good and bad people are the
same?
Like most people you probably like
good people,
and don't like bad ones.Allah loves the people who do good,
and He hates
the people who do wrong.For this
reason He has sent
His prophets to tell the people
to do good deeds and
stop doing bad deeds.Now, answer these questions.(1) Will Allah reward the people
who do good deeds?
(2) Will He punish the people who
do bad deeds?
(3) Is it in this world that good
people are rewarded?
(4) Is it in this world that bad
people are punished?
(5) Where do people receive the
recompense of their
actions?
Allah has another world that we
call the Hereafter.In that world the good people are
separated from the
bad ones and each group receives
the recompense of
its actions.If there was no Hereafter,
good people
would have no motive and reason
to perform good
deeds, and no motive to refrain
from bad deeds.If there was no Hereafter, the
call of the prophets
would be futile and pointless.Good and bad would
have no real meaning.If there
was no Hereafter, our
lives would be of no use and our
creation would be
purposeless.Do you think that Allah has created
us just to live
in this world for a few days, just
to eat and drink, to
sleep and to wear clothes, and
then to die, with nothing
more? Do you think that this is
all we should live for?
And that Allah, Who does nothing
in vain, has created
us merely for this?
In the Qur'an we are told:
"Your creation was not in vain,
you have been
created to live in this world and
perform the best kind
of deeds, and to strive towards
goodness and perfection.Then, after your life in the world,
you will be
taken to the Hereafter, where you
will receive the
result of your deeds."The Hereafter is the place where
the good are separated
from the bad.The people who have
performed
acts of goodness in their lives
will be allowed into
Paradise, where they will live
in happiness and bliss.Allah is pleased with them, and
they too are pleased
with the many blessings of Allah.But the bad and
irreligious people are sent to
Hell, where they receive
the punishment for their evil deeds.Allah is angry with
them and they live in suffering
and pain, and that is
the result of their own deeds,
and what they deserve.
