No, you can't.

Muslims believe that doing good or being good should be accompanied by faith in God the Creator and accompanied by belief in His oneness without partner whoever or whatever. You may be rewarded in this life for doing good or for being good but you will not rewarded for that goodness and for doing good in the Day of Judgment, in front of God the Creator, unless being faithful to him and unless you believe in God and in His oneness.

If you are speaking of being good without the God of The Bible, the God of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob, then the answer would be no, the Bible itself states that there are none rightious, no not one. As well as saying that our rightiousness is as of filthy rags. so we are sinfull man until we are washed and cleansed by the Blood of Jesus. We are saved by grave, through faith in Christ Jesus.

Answer 3

Ethics continually change, often drastically. Social mores come and go, with certain practices deemed acceptable in one era or area, but capitally liable elsewhere. Each new civilization seems to have different ideas as to what is acceptable.
Therefore, a higher ethical standard, not invented by humans, can serve as a permanent criterion and a safeguard against excesses.See also:
