"If I deny him on child, he takes ten. So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah."- pg. 257
Sometimes we are offered two choices, both of them good, making it difficult to decide. Sometimes a good and a bad choice, making it easy. But when offered two bad choices, it is hard to decipher which is worse. Morals guide us in the direction of good, but when no good can be found, we are thrown into the ocean in hopes that we can swim. Through life experiences, we gain knowledge about which is the lesser of two evils. Do we take a road with less harm but more destruction of human dignity, or do we fight for whats right at the risk of losing more than necessary? God is the only one who can judge our actions, and we can only make the decision which we think is right, hoping the God agrees. Unfortunately, there is no guide to proper moral decision making, but people can fight against whats wrong, push for what is right, and protect themselves and others in the process.
