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