ISLAM AND KARMA

Al ‘Imran: 15)
The believers who fear Allah are determined to fulfil their duty to
serve Him throughout their lives, and to pray and perform good actions

in order to avoid eternal suffering. In several verses of the Qur’an, Allah
urges us to be constant in our prayers, in serving Him, in performing
good deeds and in good character:

Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him, and the religion
belongs to Him, firmly and for ever. So why do you fear anyone
other than Allah? (Surat an-Nahl: 52)
Wealth and sons are the embellishment of the life of this world. But,
in your Lord’s sight, right actions which are lasting bring a better re-
ward and are a better basis for hope. (Surat al-Kahf: 46)

Allah augments those who are guided by giving them greater guid-
ance. In your Lord’s sight, right actions which are lasting are better
both in reward and end result. (Surah Maryam: 76)
