In modern society, where materialism and immediate gratification of natural needs is a tradition, it is becoming increasingly important that we base our life decisions in the spirit of deep morality and virtue, based on moral principles and divine teachings. The most important issues facing us today are the importance of following revelation, that fiqh rules are not just outdated traditions, that we, as Muslims, do not follow the strictly defined standards and regulations of today's modern era, which arise from questions about the purpose and nature of life, and first of all it is the need for us to pass through the criteria of good and bad.

In Islam, the Supreme Truth is Allah (al-Haqq). He is the Creator, and His creation is the manifestation of His holy attributes. Creation (creation) is also a collection of signs (verses) that facilitate the perception of the world and, in turn, lead to understanding and appreciation of the Creator. It follows that science is closely related to truth. It means knowing the true and original state of things, whether they are significant or insignificant, at any level of existential reality. What matters is not the quantitative dimensions of things, but the reality. In fact, science and truth are two sides of the same coin.

The first thing we discover and must discover in meditation is that only He who gave us life can give it value. If we delude ourselves with the nonsense that there is no such source and that life is just blind chance, then there can be no value: no basis for good or bad, right or wrong. In other words, if there is no God, there can be no morality, because morality is essentially an exercise in the search for God.
