(IMMORITY)

Webster’s definition of “MORALITY” states… “principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.”

synonyms: ethics · rights and wrongs · ethicality · virtue · goodness · good behavior · righteousness · rectitude · uprightness · morals · principles · honesty · integrity · propriety · honor · justice · decency · ethics · standards/principles of behavior · mores.

Also…
  • a particular system of values and principles of conduct, especially one held by a specified person or society
  • the extent to which an action is right or wrong

Thus it also should be understood that behind all arguments lie an issue and/or principle of morality. “IMMORALITY” is the direct opposite of this.

So, why is Islam the best moral choice in this day and time?

Without MORALITY & PRINCIPLES we could be subjected to many unforeseen obstacles that could place burdens in our lives. Casual interactions with the opposite sex could be one.

(CASUAL INTERMINGLING OF THE SEXES) could lead to casual and unlawful sexual intercourse.

Casual sex invites many serious dangers!

Too many men and women in their late teens, early twenties and even in their thirties & forties do not consider the implications of their casual sexual interludes or non-marital hookups.

Casual sex is not just a problem of promiscuity but it’s also a potential problem for acquiring a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD); not omitting the punishment of eternal damnation, if you’re of a faith based community. Past sexual history is a fair topic. As embarrassing as it may be to have this talk with a partner, friend or other…it is even worse to end up having this talk with a doctor; or more frightening, our Creator!

So, for those of us who pursue marriage, why don’t most work?

Take a look at some of the destruction that our westernized liberties/values create in its path. It starts at childhood.

This is the danger of ignoring or neglecting one’s responsibility for imparting moral values.
