When human life is lived through righteousness and love, they are being true to what God's intentions for human goodness is all about. To be a true representation of human goodness, a person must turn away from evil and do only good. Unlike Judaism and Christianity, Islam belief is that Allah created humans from the earth, (Surah 32:6–9 [Ali 2002: 272]; cf. 15:28–29, 22:5): .
Such is He, the Knower of all things, hidden and open, the Exalted (in power), the Merciful; - He who has made everything which He has created Most Good: He began the creation of man with (nothing more) than clay. And made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid despised; But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His Spirit. And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling (and understanding); little thanks do you give! In Christianity the problem that raises concern is the "turning away" from god. When followers turn away from God and act in disobedience from his word that is called "sin". Christianity's notion of "original sin" teaches that man is bent on sin and has inherited this through Adam and Eve. Judaism and Islam completely disagree with this and will not teach it. In Judaism, there is freedom to choose between your ability to do evil or good. Judaism understands that the want for independence and power, will often cause a person to act on things that are in conflict with their divine will. When people are disobedient to God and the divine will, they choose the evil impulse over good and that is "missing the mark". In Islam, it is believed that when a person is born, their nature aims towards virtue, knowledge and beauty. An Islamic life is one of tests and if Allah and if his guidance has been rejected in any way, it is a sin. Something else that is considered a problem in the Islamic faith is when a Muslim goes outside of Islam to worship other powers not of Allah's.
