نظریہ خیر و شر اور اسلام کا نقطہ نظر

Abstract

The concept of ‘Good and evil’ has remained solvable notion since inception of human intellect. Every individual uses terms i.e. good and evil, deeds and misdeeds and virtue and vice etc. in daily life. He depicts his deeds and manners on the part of ethics and criticizes characters of others, charging them with spectrum of good and evil. We experience in day life, if two persons fight with each other. Each one tries to prove true himself and charging others to be wrong with help of arguments. The same trend is common among life of nations. When differences exceed the limit, different principles, rules and regulations are cited as an aid for distinguishing between truthfulness and falsehood, and convict either of good or evil. Usually it has been perceived that the philosophers disbanded fundamental beliefs. It is a reality because free thinking philosophers criticized religions in all facets. Sometimes they have laid strong basis for religious beliefs. Furthermore, they strengthened religious beliefs. Among all, the Muslim philosophers were adept in the fields philosophy and religion. They laid philosophy dependent on religion. The concept of ‘good and evil’ has always remained solvable notion. But in spite of the situation is that human thoughts could neither fixate nor solved it. Allah has allowed using intellect and meditation. In present era, evil is presented with fascination as if it looks true and very difficult to differentiate between good and evil, although to judge the difference between them, human being should know how with the cursory look into the reality of good and evil with clarity. This way we may get rid of evil. This concept is common in our daily life therefore the adoption of good, we can get rid of evil; this thought belongs to our everyday life so is important knowing about good and evil.
