Page 33 - Islam and Karma

The Afterlife According to the Idea of Karma

created the life of this world, Who created the Garden and the Fire,
and Who rewards or punishes people for their actions, is denied. This
is an extremely illogical and totally unacceptable proposition. In the

absence of a creative power that governs justly, a supreme power ca-
pable of creating Heaven and Hell, any claim that people will go to

Heaven or to Hell is unacceptable to our intelligence and our con-
science.
Moreover, apart from these beliefs, the concept of karma provides
no explanation whatsoever as to how Heaven and Hell came into

being without a Creator. These claims are merely erroneous beliefs,
maintained as a tradition and as a superstition.
