Abstract :

The good and the evil are among the matters that have always been considered by the Shari’ah and its position and key role is not hidden from any thinker in order to fulfill the divine commands and decrees. There is a traditional view on the issue of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil and mentioning various examples and examining its effects and social consequences. But the thing that has been ignored is the Ta'wīl,  of good and evil and in other words, it is the example of Atamm and Akmal or the great Ta'wīl,  of these two phenomena. For this purpose, this article will seek to examine the good and the evil from the perspective of Ta'wīl,. The author believes that the realization of the good - with its definition and Ta'wīl,  - will be the basis for the emergence of all examples of good deed, and on the contrary, the denial of such a good deed will lead to the denial of other good deeds, and the command to all the evils. For this purpose, we will first have a short discussion about Ta'wīl, and penetration in science, and then we will examine all types of Ta'wīl,  due to the narration of Nu’mānī  and quoting Amir al-Mu’minin (AS) and then we will consider a part of the types of this Ta'wīl, l that is related to the subject under discussion.
