Good & Bad and Quran

First of all study the meanings of these two terms of Quran (click)

معروف

and

منكر

3:104

 وَلۡتَكُن مِّنكُمۡ أُمَّةٌ۬ يَدۡعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَيَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ‌ۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ

And let there always be among you a body of men who should invite to goodness, and enjoin virtue and forbid evil. And it is they who shall prosper.

So Good is Appropriate while Bad is In-appropriate , precisely...

so for all the things that matter in this life...are..

Food

Good Food and Bad Food!

not necessarily the Halaal and the Haraam...because even Halaal Food can be Bad for some reason.

Quran talks about Halaal and Tayyab , together...

2:168

O men! eat the lawful and good things out of what is in the earth, and do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan; surely he is your open enemy.

also

2:172

O you who believe! eat of the good things that We have provided you with, and give thanks to Allah if Him it is that you serve.

Clothes

Good Clothes and Bad Clothes!

Since modesty is highly recommended in Quran, whether it relates to visual, mental or spiritual...it can easily tell which clothes are good and which are bad

Te Quran says..

7:26

O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty and clothing that guards (against evil), that is the best. This is of the communications of Allah that they may be mindful.

So what could be the the garments or clothings of Righteousness or Taqwa (Libaas ut Taqwa).Can you define it for any particular culture or tradition?

What else....!

Everyone like Good Things or Provisions , as Quran Indicates..

7:31	O children of Adam! attend to your embellishments at every time of prayer, and eat and drink and be not extravagant; surely He does not love the extravagant.
7:32	Say: Who has prohibited the embellishment of Allah which He has brought forth for His servants and the good provisions? Say: These are for the believers in the life of this world, purely (theirs) on the resurrection day; thus do We make the communications clear for a people who know.
7:33	Say: My Lord has only prohibited indecencies, those of them that are apparent as well as those that are concealed, and sin and rebellion without justice, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down any authority, and that you say against Allah what you do not know.

So...  there is a Good and Bad aspect of everything related to our lives . Time changes and new things are invented or created as creativity is one of the natural abilities and genuine faculty of human mind, yet, to adopt them can be based on our own wisdom directed by the words of Allah.

There can be good story books and bad story books good music with good poetry or wordings. There can be good musical instruments and bad musical instrument. Music can be used for good reason or bad reason.

There is good Art and bad Art. Art  can beused for good motives or bad motives. There are good T. V. programs and bad T.V. programs...good and bad movies and good and bad games...!

Do you really expect an 'Index' in Quran about every single thing...!

No ....All you need is TAQWA in your Heart to decide for yourself. what is Good and what is 'evil'!

Remember, Quran has mentioned, very clearly about the 'forbidden' in 7:33 (above)..so read it again!

9:71

And (as for) the believing men and the believing women, they are guardians of each other; they enjoin good and forbid evil and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allah and His Apostle; (as for) these, Allah will show mercy to them; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.

First of all...
look at the meanings of لَعِبٌ۬ here in the dictionary
look at the meanings of لَهۡوٌ۬ here in the dictionary
Now study the following verse of Quran , carefully.
57:20
Know that the life of this world is only a sport and a pastime, and an adornment, and a source of boasting among yourselves, and of rivalry in multiplying riches and children. It is like the rain, the vegetation produced whereby rejoices the tillers. Then it dries up and you see it turn yellow; then it becomes worthless stubble. And in the Hereafter there is severe punishment for the wicked and also forgiveness from ALLAH, and His pleasure for the righteous. And the life of this world is nothing but temporary enjoyment of delusive things.

6:32

And this world's life is naught but a play and an idle sport and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better for those who guard (against evil); do you not then understand?

6:70

And leave those who have taken their religion for a play and an idle sport, and whom this world's life has deceived, and remind (them) thereby lest a soul should be given up to destruction for what it has earned; it shall not have besides Allah any guardian nor an intercessor, and if it should seek to give every compensation, it shall not be accepted from it; these are they who shall be given up to destruction for what they earned; they shall have a drink of boiling water and a painful chastisement because they disbelieved.

7:51

Who take their religion for an idle sport and a play and this life's world deceives them; so today We forsake them, as they neglected the meeting of this day of theirs and as they denied Our communications.

29:64

And the life of this world is nothing but a pastime and a sport, and the Home of the Hereafter - that indeed is Life, if they but knew !

Quran wants us to be busy in responsible and useful things. It doesn't allow us to waste our lives in games and fun. Now you think for yourself about all kind of time-wasting addictions, like video games and music or money-wasting fun-rides, movies etc..and by-the way if LIFE itself is nothing , but games and fun, then why making it more worthless by indulging into games and fun, then! Better find a way out to the addictions...or else...be prepared for visual and mental losses...

What is the real loss, actually? What is the main dis-advantage of being IDLE?

Here's the answer;

9:69

As in the case of those before you: they were mightier than you in power, and more flourishing in wealth and children. They had their enjoyment of their portion: and ye have of yours, as did those before you; and ye indulge in idle talk as they did. They!- their work are fruitless in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will lose (all spiritual good).

..not visual or mental ...but spiritual...above all!
