ATH:Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) Rules for Building Personal and Community Life

"God Created the human Being With An Inborn Moral Law"

Maulana Maududi goes on to say that God has created the human being With an inborn ... well maybe I should go to Maududi and just take a little time here..." An inborn moral law has been created in him". He says, "Islam's moral law does not really depend on these external pressures alone." 

Now, by "external pressures", he means what influences us in the environment, firstly, in the home, to make us think about right and wrong behavior or introduce scripture and revelation itself from God.  He's saying that all of these external things even the revelation of God is not what Islam depends upon, only. 

Now, listen! "Islam's moral law does not really depend on these external pressures alone.. It relies upon the inherent urge for good in every man and woman, which is derived from a belief in God and a belief in the Day of Judgment." But, as a philosopher myself, I'm going to explain to you what this philosopher is saying. He's not necessarily saying that you have to be consciously aware of the belief in God. You don't have to be consciously aware of faith in God or faith in the last day, Judgment Day. It could be an unconscious force in you that's working without you being consciously aware of it, working to make you question your behavior and to improve upon your behavior, making your behavior more presentable in the higher estimation that you have of your performance. (See 91:7-10)
