What others say and I like.
Mostly an archive of internet articles I want in one place, with some of my writing and rumination sprinkled here and there.

Who's good, who's evil?
Humans are a mixture of good and evil. Pure good are Angels. Pure evil are Devils. But every human has a combination of both. By that understanding, one can say that no matter how wretched a person one considers, one can always find something glorious about that person. Similarly, no matter how respectable a person one considers, one can find something censurable about that person (save the Prophets, whom the God have protected from folly).
How then can any person be evil, or moral?
That is not the point. The point is, whether that person good to you. Are you better in the company of the said person than you are without it, if you are, then the person is good, good for You. And if you are worse in the company of this person than you are without it. Then this person is corroding for you.

almost all of the prophets committed some folly save prophet Muhammad (Sallahuilaewasalam)
My humble apologies for such a late response, at the end is the answer to your comment. I have not tried to argue with you with reasoning as my religious knowledge is not sufficient for that. This is a fatwa (opinion of religious experts) if you disagree, shoot them an email or call them.
(Fatwa: 407/413/N=1433)
It is mentioned in the books of beliefs that the Prophets (عليهم الصلاة والسلام) are innocent. Hence the view of Maududi Sahib that Prophets are not innocent is against the beliefs of Ahl Sunnah al-Jamah.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
