THE OBLIGATORY (THE WAJIB) It is a list of both evil and good deeds. They are not equal in respect to their benefit and harm to the individual who does them, and the society that absorbs their effects. Islam regards human activities, which are actions, sayings, ideas and feelings with due attention. Islam puts these activities into a variety of categories, and so every activity is precisely weighed and described with respect to its nature and impact on man himself.

Islam does so to show the path before man and put forward a criterion by which man evaluates his activities, develops them, and steers himself clear from evil and crime. Man is also urged to mobilize his energies in the domain of good and constructive works and preserve them from being dissipated and lost. These energies granted to man by his Creator are not to become tools of destruction and sources of calamities and torture to man. The ultimate goal is thus, attaining Allah’s pleasure.

Based on these considerations and goals, man’s deeds fall into five categories, where every activity is valued according to its positive or negative effects on man and his varied relationships.

These categories, as stated by the scholars are: 1- Permitted (Mubah) 2- Recommended (Mustahab) 3- Disapproved but not unlawful (Makruh) 4- Forbidden (Haram) 5- Obligatory (Wajib) 1- THE PERMITTED (MUBAH) It is an act in which a sane person (Mukallaf) who has reached puberty has full freedom to do it or leave it aside. Within the circle of permission, such a person is never asked about what he does or leaves for the permitted actions.
