Instead He forbids evil in all its forms, hidden and manifest!
The problem is that man does not care enough to distinguish between good and evil;
obviously what seems 'good' to someone, may be evil for another; - then is it really 'good'? Which shows that these attributes are very relative and due to change.
Muslims do have a criterion for good and evil:
the divine revelation of the Quran
and the prophetic example. Where human reason is not sufficient to determine this question, we are informed about what is good and pleasant in the sight of Allah or what is evil, although it may seem good at first sight.
Now - whereas all good comes from Allah, evil deeds are the sole responsibility of man . His conscience, if he still has one, alarms him in a silent manner when he is about to commit an evil deed and punishes him with complaints and remorse afterwards, so then - why did he do it anyway? What 'reasonable' arguments did he come up with, in order to defend his evil action?
In fact many prophets were sent to each and every nation on earth to show us the way to righteousness and bliss . The last of the prophets, the Messenger of God , Muhammad
, - teaches us the religion of Islam by which we can discover the shortcomings of human reason, which alone is incapable of understanding reality.
