LET'S SPREAD THE GOODNESS (Habib Muh Shahib)

Allah sent me to this world to complete human’s moral (akhlak)!!
-Muhammad S.A. W

Currently, almost every time we see the ugliness in our society. Starting from the loss of compassion sense between people, some people seize property of other people, until the loss of shame for doing something bad. We can say, today there is an inverse relationship, the technology raise more advance but moral awareness in the community decrease. Unfortunately, we tend to simplify protest without doing a real action to reduce the ugliness. Whereas, all of us know from religious to non-religious people agree that the duty of intelligent and virtuous people are doing something good, so universal moral values can straight up again.

Subjective goodness vs. universal goodness
Many people took refuge for not doing the right thing based on the reason that we have a difference opinion or definition of what is the goodness? So we cannot force people to follow the goodness in our perspective. I think, the argument above is not really right because we already have universal moral rules since we were created by our God. Refers to Aristotle “humans are animals who have intelligence and moral view” and also refers to a Hadith “Human has a holy nature since his/her birth but his/her parent makes him/her to become Zoroastrian…” So the real thing we need to do for instance such as to try to be a good listener, a good observer, and a good speaker and trying to make the universal definition of the goodness. So we can have the good understanding of the goodness and then we can do the good things together based on together
conclusion of the goodness.

How do we spread the goodness?
We can spread the goodness in many ways but we should start from our closest environment, in our friends, our neighbors, our love or whoever they are. Because we must trust and believe the goodness of a nation is the accumulation of the goodness of all societies in it.
