You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce: "If your fathers, and your sons, and your brothers, and your spouses and your clans;
And the wealth that you have acquired, and the business you people fear recession in it; and the residences you are delighted with:
These are more attractive and dearer to you people than Allah the Exalted and the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] of Him the Exalted; and than endeavoring-exerting utmost for the cause-High road of Him the Exalted:
Thereby, wait remain absorbed in their love until such time Allah the Exalted proclaims His decision-command.
Remain cognizant, Allah the Exalted guides not the people who are aberrant-promise breakers and transgress prescribed bounds. [9:24]
Kant then argues that the consequences of an act of willing cannot be used to determine that the person has a good will; good consequences could arise by accident from an action that was motivated by a desire to cause harm to an innocent person, and bad consequences could arise from an action that was well-motivated. Instead, he claims, a person has a good will when he 'acts out of respect for the moral law'.[7] People 'act out of respect for the moral law' when they act in some way because they have a duty to do so. So, the only thing that is truly good in itself is a good will, and a good will is only good when the willer chooses to do something because it is that person's duty, i.e. out of "respect" for the law. He defines respect as "the concept of a worth which thwarts my self-love."[8] Deontological ethics
