How can you be good without Allah? Having some petty book tell you how to live...you are ignoring the words of the one true god, Allah. How can you be good without heeding his words and instead praying to a false god like yours?



I think I made my point there. Anyway, to answer your question, "good" actions are measured by their effect on others. Same as "bad". For example, murder is bad. How do I know murder is bad without some ancient fictional story telling me it is? Because nobody wants to die. It's not cool to take someone's only life away. I wouldn't want that done to myself. If you can't know that murdering somebody is bad without religion, then you're a psychopath.
