Isam Rajab: The Connection discussing ‘Good and Evil’ on PBS

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

I mentioned earlier in this post about Shaykh Isam appearing on TV on The Connection. Well my ‘ghetto’ camera phone pics of the show on my TV pale in comparision to this great video recorded by Khalil and hosted on Google Video. Everyone should listen to this, I highly recommend it, it is only like 27 minutes. So Enjoy!

    Asalaamu alaikum

    When I see a show like it is uplifting because our society still has people who can discuss issues in a proper manner even though they are from different faiths.

    May Allah reward the sheikh for representing Islam properly and bless us with more people like that in our community. ameen

    “…I would just like to piggyback on the Imam’s comments…”

    you gotta love interfaith discussions, eh?

    why not something simple: good is everything that pleases Allah. evil is that which displeases Him, as defined and revealed to us by Him. an evil act is more or less culpable depending on the factors that He has described — including intention. all of Allah’s creations have inherent goodness in them, and any evil in them or performed by them is what they have sought out or brought about for themselves. and no amount of evil is beyond Allah’s capacity to Forgive, and no evil deed or intention can thwart His Decree to any extent at all.
