This Is My Faith - Al-fatlawi, Ali - الصفحة ٨٨ - Is It One of the Essence Qualities or Deed Qualities?
Anwar: I have actually heard it, but I don’t know what it exactly means!
Hasan: We are not going deep into the explanation of this rule, but I’ll simply refer to what religious scholars say in this regard; reason can judge what is good and what is bad without depending on religious evidence. So, the reason’s judgment is enough to know the good deeds from the bad ones.
Anwar: I might want to avoid getting into this rule as well, yet I still need to know the meaning of good and bad.
Hasan: Religious scholars answered that. Good is what deserves praise and bad is what deserves dispraised. I see you are smiling!
Anwar: Your name means good, and your parents deserve to be praised for raising a man like you.
Hasan: This is very kind of you. Thank you!
Anwar: You earlier made reference to what Sheikh Al-Muzaffar said: ‘He rewards dutiful people as He can punish the sinners’. I wonder why he said ‘He can punish the sinners’!
