The Muslim Belief in Good

By Harun Yahya

Muslim believe that every event that happens to the believer has some sort of goodness in it. God states that even events that seem to be unfavorable may have a lot of good in them :

[ It may well be that you dislike something in which Allah has a placed a lot of good.] ( An-Nisaa' 4:19 )

[ It may be that you hate something when it is good for you and it may be that you love something when it is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know.] ( Al-Baqarah 2:216 )

Loss in the hereafter means eternal and intolerable punishment, unless God wills otherwise. Muslims believe that people should seek goodness and beauty not only in ordeals, but also in daily routines. Those who are aware that everything has a purpose in God's creation never use phrases such as "I wish I had not done this" or "I wish I had not said that" and so on. [Those who follow My guidance will feel no fear and will know no sorrow.](Al-Baqarah 2:38) [Yes, the closer servants of Allah will feel no fear nor shall they grieve: those who believe and have done their duty, there is good news for them in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There is no changing the words of Allah. That is the great victory.](Yunus 10:62-64)
