Another standard used to judge Hawa or bad craving is an
internal one whereupon as one indulges in such pleasures, one feels pain of
some sort.
Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, asserts in the four Noble
truths, that hawa or craving is source of human suffering.
The concept of hawa is opposed to the concept of SabiiliLah,
God's path, or being on course or being professional, to use more secular term;
he who follows the former will lose, by implication, his wayward to the latter.
The reverse, also seems to be be case.
Daud, or David, as mentioned in the Quran, had made this
mistake, when he was judging between two men who were arguing about ewes: One
of them had 99 of them and another had only one; the former had asked the
letter to complete the hundred for him.
An argument had ensued between the two, whereupon the one
with the 99 ewes won the argument. Prophet Daud, or David, ppuh, judged hastily
by seeing the question of completing one hundred per se as an aggression, but
he succeeded not in listening to the argument that have ensued between the two,
whereupon the man with the plenty of the ewes won. He had a good case, despite
appearing on the first encounter not having one.
The prophet did not listen to this argument, for which
reason he succeeded not in judging fairly.
Listening to both sides despite one’s case being more
compelling than the other on prima facia basis, increases one's chances of
judging fairly and by implication remaining on God's path.
Suspension of judgment,
it would appear, despite compelling reasons to render a verdict on the basis of
the available evidence is staying
on God’s path, or remaining
professional, to use more secular term.
Somalis say if you see someone whose stomach is out, don’t
believe him; may be he has already killed the one who took his stomach out. Suspend judgment, the moral of the story, until you collect as much information as possible, even then let the conclusion remain as it is and no more.
