About Mixing Right With Wrong

The basis of the occurrence of evils are those desires which are
acted upon and the orders that are innovated. They are against the Book of
Allah. People cooperate with each other about them even though it is
against the religion of Allah. If wrong had been pure and unmixed it would not be hidden from those who are in search of it. And if right had been pure
without a mixture of wrong those who bear hatred towards it taken from here and something from there and the two are mixed! At this stage Satan
overpowers his friends and they alone escape for whom virtue has been
apportioned by Allah from before would have been silenced. However, what is done is that something is taken from here and something from there and the
two are mixed! At this stage Satan overpowers his friends and they alone
escape for whom virtue has been apportioned by Allah from before.
