ISLAM AND KARMA
who come to Him as believers, having done right actions, they will
have the highest ranks: Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under
them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. That is the reward of
those who purify themselves. (Surah Ta Ha: 74-76)
Those are people of whom the statement about the nations, both of
jinn and men, who passed away before them, has also proved true;

everything they have done without anyone being wronged even

Merciful, forgets nothing, is never mistaken and is Supremely Just.

The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them
but Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls
without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the
earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book. (Surat
al-An’am: 59)
For instance, two people having a secret conversation may think
that only they themselves know about it; however, Allah is also with
them while they are talking. Allah hears and is aware of their secret
