Before any decision we have to make, we hear a voice that shows us the way and directs us toward what is right. From the moment we wake up in the morning, wherever we may go and whatever we may do, this voice accompanies us.
Nobody else can hear it but that voice speaks to us of justice, moral virtue, humility, honesty and sincerity; in short everything that is good.
This internal voice that shows us the way and commands us to do what is right is the voice of the conscience. In one verse of the Qur’an, Allah speaks of “the two paths.” (Qur’an, 90:10) In other words, in addition to a voice calling one to goodness, there is another calling one to evil. Knowingly or otherwise, people either follow the path of our Lord, their consciences, or else that of corruption, satan.
Allah also reveals in the Qur’an that He reveals depravity and the means of protection against it: And the self and what proportioned it and inspired it with depravity or piety. (Qur’an, 91:7-8) The word “depravity” means “sin and rebellion, unbelief, mendacity, the abandonment of the truth, moral collapse and the opposite of piety.” In other words, the concept of depravity includes all the negative attributes of the lower self. In essence, it is the exact opposite of conscience.
