Good and bad deeds

An article by- Eng. B M Zafrullah

Introduction:

In the holy Quran, in many places it is mentioned that those who do good deeds they will go to heaven orwill be rewarded.

For instance in Chapter (Sura) 2 ,Al Baqarah, verse 25 , Almighty Allah says And give good news to

those who believed and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens (Paradise) beneath which

rivers flow.

Allah repeats a similar message in verse 62 of the same Sura Whoever believes in Allah and the Last

day and does righteous good deeds , shall have their reward with their Lord. They should not have any

fear, nor shall they grieve

Or in verse 82 of same sura Allah said - But those who have faith and work righteousness, they arecompanions of the Garden: Therein shall they abide (For ever).

Allah again says in a different phrase in verse 195 of the same Sura And do good deeds, truly Allah loves

the good doers.

Messages of similar nature have been repeated in many places of Holy Quran and the word deed or

action comes 360 times in the Quran . A very significant one which I want to mention is in Sura Al Asr

(Chapter 103) meaning The Time, where Allah the almighty stated the criteria of salvation as :-

1. By the time,

2. Verily , mankind is at loss,

3. Except those who believe and do righteous good deeds and recommend each other to truth and

recommend each other to patience.

Reading all these, a question came in my mind What are the deeds that actually qualify as the good

deeds? In Allahs eyes which deeds are considered as good?

At this moment of time ,my conscience classifies certain deeds as good and certain deeds as bad , but how

far my judgment is correct there is no way of knowing it. What I may consider as a good deed may not be

considered as good by my parents or my spouse or my siblings or my friends or my colleagues.So it

seemed to me that the concept of good and bad is totally individual , if left to be determined by the

individual!

This possibility of enormous variability raised a concern in me and felt the need of standardization .But then

question arises whom should be given the responsibility of standardization ? Can we leave it to our

intellectuals or our leaders or parliament ? Or can we conduct a referendum on each point and take what

the majority of the society or country say?

Nothing seemed to me as a full proof process that will guarantee 100% correctness!


4/65Page 4 of 65

Time and society dependence of concept of the good and the bad

In every society, in every age , people assigned certain deeds as good and certain as bad. Again, a deed

which was not considered as bad in the past in the same society , might be considered as bad in a later

date. For instance Satee Daho i.e. Burning of a wife live with the dead body of a husband in India few

hundred years ago or burial of female child alive after birth in Arabia thousand and four hundred years ago,was not considered as bad. In fact Satee Daho has been prescribed in the Veda, the ancient scripture of

the Hindus. Or you can take the cases of human slaughtering in the name of sports and fun at the

Amphitheaters of Roman Empire which is a manifestation of extreme brutality when absolute power rests in

the hand of one man or a rgime.

Further examples of necessary good act can be the ritual of human sacrifice, practiced in ancient times byancient cultures like the Incans, the Mayans or the Aztecs. It is estimated that approximately 20,000 peopleper year were sacrificed by the Aztec royalty. The motivation behind the ritual sacrifices was the concept of"tonalli," which means "animating spirit." The tonalli in humans was believed to be located in the blood,which concentrates in the heart when one becomes frightened. This explains the gods' hunger for the heart.Without this sacrifice, all motion stops, even the movement of the sun. So when the Aztecs made theirsacrifices, they were keeping the sun from halting in its orbit!

The Mayans believed that taking of a human life was deemed necessary to sanctify certain ritual occasions,such as the ascendancy to the throne by a new ruler or the dedication of a new building.

Human sacrifice has long been eradicated in every society considering it as unjust and cruel ,either bycollective ruling or out of religious beliefs . In this modern era of science and technology , where a bigportion of the human race do not even believe in God , sacrificing a fellow man for any God will beridiculous and unthinkable.

However even in this 20th century news comes out from modern India that human sacrifices have been

made to make a structure say a bridge stable or human sacrifice has been made to Goddess Kali in aremote temple by some ancient indigenous people.

Conversely a deed which was considered as bad in the past may be considered as not bad or good at

present. For instance Gay activities were considered as bad even in the recent past , but now by the grace

of modern Democracy , Gay marriages have been legalized in many European countries !

What is good and what is bad also varied from society to society. It seemed that religion, culture, know how

, the surrounding environment and how people interacted with that environment determined what will be

considered as good and what as bad. For instance among some African tribes staying naked was not

considered as bad or even cannibalism was considered as normal cultural behavior .In the absence of

know-how of making cloths or cultivation for growing food or not being able to control the environmentaround them with technology ,these behaviors may have looked obvious things to do.

Even in this modern time in India , the Monks of Digambar Jainism known as Digambaras wear no cloth at

all and believe that women cannot have salvation unless they reborn as a man. Again still in modern India

the Hindu Religious practices have Jogini system ,where women of the lower castes are converted to

Joginis, on behalf of the temple God or Goddess she is supposed to satisfy the lust of the village men.

As human society evolved and knowledge of human beings kept on increasing and man slowly started to

understand part of the basic forces of nature and part of the properties of matter in the universe , values of


5/65Page 5 of 65

a society kept on changing over time .For example cutting of Trees for various use was not considered as

bad thing say 50 years ago , but now at the time of Global warming problem , cutting trees is considered to

be a bad thing at least to the knowledgeable part of the society. Similarly hunting of animals of any kind was

not considered as a bad thing and was considered as a part of sports and fun. But when man acquired the

knowledge that every little animal, insect or plant has its distinct place and role in the sustenance of this

planet and by indiscriminate hunting and de forestation many species has become instinct and many are

seriously endangered of extinction, then hunting for fun or even for consumption is now considered as a bad

thing to do. Recently scientists has found that there is certain type of orchid flower in the Amazons ,whichs

flowers have special pollen which male bees uses during mating to attract female bees. Now how in this

world earlier man would have imagined that that small orchid plant is responsible for bee reproduction and

in turn responsible for the formation of a giant rain forest? So cutting down just a insignificant orchid plant

might have a devastating effect in the long run!

Again in the recent past smoking was considered a symbol of aristocracy or manliness .But now smoking is

considered as an act done only by fools.

So what is good and what is bad seemed to remain as variable and as a function of time, place, knowledge

base and society.

It is always said that , the human beings are born with inherent sense of what is good and what is bad. But

even it is true, this sense in my opinion remains so deeply buried in an average human being that society,

environment , false religion or lack of knowledge can embed ideas or acts as good or bad in ones mind

without any verification from that inherent sense system.

In other words can I accurately determine from what I know today what is a good deed and what is a bad

deed and will this determination pass the test of time i.e. remain valid till the end of time? By all means the

answer seemed to be no.

So, I thought the answer must be available in the holy Quran itself. All wise and holder of all knowledge

Allah must have narrated it or indicated it in his last Testament the Holly Quran. Accordingly, I startedlooking for them in that vast revelation.


6/65Page 6 of 65

The purpose of creation and the assignment given to men:

And very soon in the 2nd Sura i.e. Sura Al Baqarah (the Cow) I found that Allah the all wise appropriately

explained the very purpose of creation of man and when the purpose is clear then the spirit of what man

should do also becomes clear save the nitty gritty of it which Allah all wise detailed over a little more than

22 years period to prophet Mohammad (pbuh) whenever he (the prophet) needed guidance on a particular

issue.All these became clear to me when I came across a little story that Allah the all wise narrated which

caught my eye and made me ponder deeply. The story is about the dialog Allah had with the Angels when

He desired of creating man. In Chapter 2 verse 30 Allah said -

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels , I will create Khaliifah (vicegerent/ representative/ caretaker) on

earth. They said: will you place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood? - while we

glorify You with praises and thanks and sanctify You! He (Allah) said: I know that you do not know.

Now if Allah the almighty has created us and placed us on this earth as his vicegerent/ representative/

caretaker with all the required environment, resources, and abilities, then it must be required by us to

uphold His policies and principles .We must remain loyal to Him, praise Him, remain thankful to Him, and

maintain communication link with Him (as He is the Boss and the provider). To represent Him, we must

show in miniature form, with very limited abilities of ours, some of the qualities Allah posses. Now if you

think about Allah who beside binge the almighty and creator of all the Worlds has all the knowledge and

wisdom possible will logically be Just, truthful, kind, full of love ,caring, considerate, compassionate, merciful

,sincere, etc .and all other good qualities that you can possibly think of .So obviously Allah expects us

(whom He nominated as Khaliifah) to be knowledgeable ( He has given us the capability to gain knowledge

to a certain extent) and to posses all the possible good qualities we can think of and do good deeds and

properly take care of His creations -this universe, this planet, its environment, resources He has implanted

for us , fellow man, animals, plants in other words everything in this universe.

Again Allah is informing us in Chapter 2, verse 27 and in chapter 7 verse 172 that we as offspring of Adam

(pbuh) in our soul state have ratified strong covenant to Allah that He is our creator and Lord and that we

will remain loyal to Him (though we dont remember it now). Allah in Chapter 2, verse 27 therefore saying

that He has instructed not to break this relationship of Creator and Khaliifah and He is narrating that those

who break Allahs Covenant after ratifying it and sever what Allah has ordered to be joined (i.e. that

relationship) and do mischief on earth, it is they who are the losers.

Therefore Allah does not want us to break the relationship and therefore want us to remain pure , do all right

and just things yet enjoy the bounties and good things He has provided for us on this earth . In fact He has

provided all things that we need, so we need to fulfill our obligation as Khaliifah and regularly turn our faceto him in gratitude and maintain that relationship, though he has given us weaknesses like hunger ,lust,

pride, anger, envy etc. On the other hand, he has given us the biggest brain in the animal kingdom and

hands with flexible fingers and abilities to judge right from wrong , provided us with qualities like patience

,able to love unconditionally ,compassion , humbleness etc and ability to attain highest form of purity and

wisdom through gaining knowledge and His guidance and thus overcome those weaknesses.

Allah continued the story He was narrating in Chapter 2 verse 30 and depicted the story of how the first

man Adam (pbuh) and his wife lost the place in Paradise because of disobeying Allah by the conspiracy of


7/65Page 7 of 65

Satan (Iblish) and Allah said to them ( Adam ,Eve and Iblish) get you down all, with enmity between

yourselves .On earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment for a time ( Chapter 2, verse 36) .

So Adam, Eve (pbut) and Iblish were sent to earth and Adam and Eve (pbut) repented to Allah who

pardoned them and said to them get down all of you from this place ( the Paradise) , then whenever there

comes to you Guidance from Me, and who ever follows My Guidance, there shall be no fear on them, nor

shall they grieve (Chapter 2, verse 38) .

So by the passage of time, whenever mankind forgot the relationship with the creator the almighty Allah, He

sent guidance to mankind through his selected Warner the Prophets. His last revelation being the Quran,

definitely it is expected to be filled with complete guidance.

So I kept looking in His last revelation for the Guidance He promised and in an attempt to list out the dos

and the do nots.

While doing so my past life flashed back on me, I remembered that once I was a Government servant in my

country and the highest ranked officers were those who were in the so called cadre service and they were

taught and are supposed to follow two things one is the Business Rules and the other the Conduct

Rules. In the business rules the hierarchy of authority and the processes of doing the assigned businessare defined and in the conduct rules what an officer should or should not do while he or she is in service

are laid out. When I was going through the translation of the Quran, it seemed to me that Allah the almighty

has given both the Business Rules and the Conduct Rules for His Khaliifas in the same book.

As we have forgotten our covenant with the creator Allah ( in fact the Arabic word for man Insun actually

means the one who forgets) , the first thing He is saying Chapter (Sura) 2 ,Al Baqarah, verse 25 of the

Quran is to believe (in Islamic monotheism- i.e. There is only one God who is the creator, the sustainer,

the cherisher and that since the arrival of man on earth, time to time He has sent His guidance i.e.

revelations to His Prophets who in turn have spread it to their people or the mankind, that He has assigned

up on us a special responsibility to function as His Khaliifa on this earth for a limited period and after we

finish our term which will be ended through our death, He is going to take account of what we have done inthe allotted time on the day of judgment and reward or punish us according to our deeds that we have

performed during the period we were alive). Then He is saying to do righteous good deeds, which should

be a natural consequence of that firm belief. The man or the woman who believed (all that I wrote in the

foregoing parenthesis) and considers himself or herself as His Khalifa shall only do righteous good deeds

because those deeds normally a Khalifa would do.


8/65Page 8 of 65

The test:

Allah the almighty and all wise created the angels who do not have their free wills and they are like robotswho precisely carry out Allahs command whenever He commands.

But it seems that Allah wanted to create something with high intelligence but with free will , with a sense of

what is good and what is bad built in their hearts , but with weaknesses like hunger ,lust, pride, anger, envy

etc in one hand but provided with qualities like patience ,able to love unconditionally ,compassion ,

humbleness , kindness , ability to become affectionate, sacrifice for others , to share etc on the other hand

and He wanted to see can intelligence win despite there is the free will to choose evil.

One has to realize that Allah gave mankind the brain to gradually acquire and accumulate knowledge about

the things around them on this planet and beyond and the ability to write and read and He Also time to time

sent the guidance and divine knowledge through His Messengers and reminded mankind the purpose ofits existence , the dos and do nots and the way of achieving real peace. He incidentally has also sent Iblish

(Satan) to this earth with certain abilities to raise the stake , whos prime job will be to misguide mankind

from the true path. So here lies the test, do a man with intelligence , with ability to read ,to write , to hear

and speak and with the good qualities given to him/her uses his/her free will to choose the truth and right

path or he or she chooses the false and the wrong path and do harm to themselves and to others.

The phrases used to identify good and bad deed in the Quran

For the sake of understanding the theme explained so far, let me repeat what Allah the almighty said in

Chapter (Sura) 2 ,Al Baqarah, verse 25 , Almighty Allah said And give good news to those who believed

and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens (Paradise) beneath which rivers flow.

The Arabic words used for righteous good deed is Amilus Saalihaati and as stated earlier these words

were repeated several time in the Quran.

Now how do we identify the Amilus Saalihaati ?

The answer is ,in the Holy Quran, Allah the all wise have used certain phrases to describe what is a good

deed ( i.e. Amilus Saalihaati) . For example while defining good deeds Allah has said one or other of the

following-

Those who does this, this and these , they are at the right path

Those who does this, this and these , give glad tiding to them that for them there is rewards forinstance a place in heaven

Successful are those who does this this and this

Defined who can be called as a pious (Al Muttaqun) or a believer (Mumin) Allah loves those who does this, this and this.

Allah is with them who does this , this and this.

Or Allah the most merciful has straight forward said - do this ,this and this

Oppositely, while defining bad deeds or bad doers Allah has said one or other of the following-

And those do this ,this and this , they are the losers.

Woe to those who does this and this

And those do this ,this and this, they shall be consigned to grievous torment

And those do this ,this and this, Hell in which they will burn and what a evil place to settle in !

For doing some thing Allah has said that there will be some sort of punishment

For those acts Allah says it negates the Iman ( the belief)

Allah the most merciful has straight forward said - do not do this, this and this

Now as I have referred to the examples of my Government service where we had to do deeds which fall

under two categories i.e. the deed following the Rules of Business and those following the conduct rule ,

the righteous good deeds can also be divide into two categories , deeds which are directly involved in

keeping the Khaliifa- Creator link/contact , in other words the acts of worshiping the creator ,the

sustainer, the cherisher say deeds like praying (Salah), fasting for the sake of Allah, charity (Zakat) in the

name of Allah, pilgrimage (Haj) for the sake of Allah etc and good deeds which are involving our conduct

with the outside world ,i.e. with fellow man, society, environment and the whole creation.

The acts of worships are well known. What I was interested in was good deed of the second category

involving our interactions in our daily life with fellow man, society, animals, environment and the whole

creation. The good deeds those if you recognize and perform will take you to the highest level of

Character and make your heart 100% pure.

However I will list out both types of the Good deeds and the bad deeds.

A brilliant social strategydesigned by Allah the allwise so that wealth doesnot remain accumulatedin the hands of the richonly and the poor die inhunger. This schemedoes not ensure equal

Egalitarianism promotes,but it ensures that people

who has plenty dodistribute a portion of it tothe poor and the needy. If

you think ,the idealsituation of every body

feasible. As then therewould be no challenges inlife , and no room for man

to make use of thequalities of

compassionateness,kindness and mercy asthere will be nobody togive to! It is to be notedhere that though Islamdoes not advocate forequal wealth for everybody as the political

doctrine Egalitarianismprescribes , it does

ensure other aspects ofEgalitarianism i.e. equalstatus to all man -poor orrich , black or white , male

or female.

setting up partners (in worship) withHim; but He forgives whom Hepleases other sins than this: onewho joins other gods with Allah, hasindeed strayed far, far away (fromthe right).

God who is the creator,the sustainer , the Lordof the day of Judgment,the most powerful, themost merciful , the mostwise, holder of allknowledge, Who seesevery thing, Who hearsevery thing , Whoknows the future andthe past, etc,etc.

[The Bible, Exodu20:3-5]"Thou shalhave no other godbefore me. Thoushall not makeunto thee anygraven image, or

any likeness ofanything that is inheaven above, orthat is in the earthbeneath, or that isin the water underthe earth. Thoushall not bow dowthyself to them, nosee them; for I theLord thy God am ajealous God"
