The Life of this World According to the Idea of Karma
That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of
everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything.
(Surat al-An’am: 102)
Those who confess Allah's power, the faithful who fear Allah's
wrath, serve only Allah and obey His Will unconditionally; they avoid
doing evil and perform actions that will be pleasing to Him. In the fol-
lowing verses, the Qur’an describes how the faithful fear Allah and
what a wonderful reward they receive as a result:
Mankind! Heed your Lord and fear a day when no father will be able
to atone for his son, or son for his father, in any way. Allah’s promise
is true. So do not let the life of this world delude you and do not let
the Deluder delude you concerning Allah. (Surah Luqman: 33)
Say, "Shall I tell you of something better than that? Those who so
their duty will have Gardens with their Lord, with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever, and purified
wives, and the Pleasure of Allah. Allah sees His servants…" (Surah
