That Islam is a merit/demerit based religion is beyond question. One’s eternal destiny hinges (as far as any human actions can sway the will of Allah) on how well or poorly one obeys the divine commands, now conveniently gathered in what is known as Shari’ah law (in one approved version or another). The goal of Muslims is to stack up as many “merit points” as possible while avoiding the demerits that accrue from disobedience to Allah. At the Day of Judgment Allah will use a pan balance to weigh the totality of one’s good deeds against his bad deeds. Although Allah in his sovereign freedom is not obligated to follow the results, the Muslim hope is that he will have accrued enough good over evil to sway Allah’s judgment toward Paradise rather than hellfire.
One doesn’t need to read much in Islamic literature to see the obsession with reward and punishment based on deeds. Many scholars and hadith traditions weigh in on the specific rewards (in quality and quantity associated with particular good deeds or intentions. For example:
- “The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah [i.e., in jihad] is like a seed which grows seven spikes, in each spike is a hundred grains. Allah multiplies His reward for whom He wills, for Allah is vast and knowing” (Sura 2:261)
- “Verily, Allah has recorded good and bad deeds and He made them clear. Whoever intends to perform a good deed but does not do it, then Allah will record it as a complete good deed. If he intends to do it and does so, then Allah the Exalted will record it as ten good deeds up to seven hundred times as much or even more. If he intends to do a bad deed and does not do it, then Allah will record for him one complete good deed. If he does it then Allah will record for him a single bad deed” (Sahih Bukhari, 6126)
- “Whoever reads a letter of the Book of Allah will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets tenfold reward. I do not say that Alif-laam-meem is a letter, rather alif is a letter, laam is a letter and meem is a letter” (Tirmidhi, 2910)
- Reading or reciting Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112, composed of only 4 verses) gains the reward otherwise associated with reading or reciting 1/3 of the whole Qur’an (Bukhari, 4628)
- According to Muhammad, “Whoever sends blessings upon me once will have Allah send blessings upon him ten times” (Sahih Muslim, 408)
- Even better, according to Sunan Timidhi 2689, “Imran ibn Hussein reported: A man came to the Prophet and he said, ‘Peace be upon you.’ The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Ten good deeds.’ Then another man came to the Prophet and he said, ‘Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.’ The Prophet said: ‘Twenty good deeds.’ Then another man came to the Prophet and he said, ‘Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.’ The Prophet said: ‘Thirty good deeds.’” (Apparently it really pays out well to heap praises upon Muhammad!)
- “Every [good] deed of the son of Adam is multiplied from ten to seven hundred times. Allah the Exalted says: Except for fasting, for it is done for my sake and I will reward it” (Sahih Muslim 1151). The implication of this is that fasting is in an exalted category all by itself, and earns mountains of blessings from Allah.
- Providing food for one breaking his fast earns you as much reward as that achieved by the one fasting, without detracting from his reward in any way.
- The Prophet said: “Prayer in congregation is superior to praying individually twenty-seven times.” (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
- “Allah’s Messenger (Peace be Upon Him) said: ‘Whoever says ‘Subhaanallaahi wa bihamdihi’ [Glorified is Allah and praised is He] one hundred times a day, will have his sins forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea.’” (al-Bukhari and Muslim)
- Perhaps the “jackpot command” is: “The Prophet said: “Whoever enters a market and says: ‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah waHdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuHyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa `alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’ [there is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs dominion and praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living and does not die. In His Hand is all the good, and He is over all things competent.] Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and raise him a million levels.” (at-Tirmidhi)
There are thousands of such incentives sprinkled throughout Muslim religious texts, and they are taken seriously by the pious Muslim who fears the unquenchable fires of hell and is troubled by the doubts of having done enough good works to qualify for paradise. It is a bit comforting to know that Allah has his finger on the scales, so to speak, multiplying one’s good deeds while counting bad deeds only as single events. However, in works-righteousness salvation systems, one never has ultimate assurance of making the grade, and adherents often remain plagued with fears of eternal punishment.
For this reason, the month of Ramadan is all the more important to Muslims, for according to Muhammad, Allah takes the “normal” rewards associated with meritorious actions at other times of the year and multiplies them 70-fold if they are done during Ramadan. This increased incentive leads to extra attention to the mandatory prayers as well as voluntary evening prayers in the mosque, to hearing and reciting the Qur’an, to giving mandatory alms and then some, and of course to an increase of jihad attacks against the infidel world (the greatest act of devotion in Allah’s eyes). Muslims hope that their devotion during this month will wipe out all their sins and accrue new heights of heavenly reward for their future.
And yet, there remains a nagging uncertainty that they have pleased Allah sufficiently; left with no assurance of their positive stature with him, many try to show him their devotion in extreme ways — giving up their wealth, giving up their lives by “killing and being killed in the way of Allah” (see Sura 9:111, where Allah assures the jihadi of paradise in exchange for the jihadi’s promise to “go out in a blaze of glory for Islam”), or sacrificing whatever else is most precious to them in life.
This mindset helps explain the horrific actions of one Indian Muslim man early last Friday morning. Nawab Ali Qureshi, a 26 year-old husband and father in Jodhpur, India, had retired to bed with his wife and two young daughters before rising shortly after midnight, waking his four-year old daughter Rizwana and taking her downstairs to the courtyard where he recited some verses from the Qur’an and then slit her throat. Leaving her to bleed out, he then went upstairs to sleep again before waking to eat his pre-fast meal of the day. His wife, Shabana, awoke around 3 am and went downstairs, presumably to begin preparing her husband’s suhoor meal before the day’s fasting would begin, and she came upon her daughter’s lifeless body. When she frantically roused her husband, he played dumb, suggesting that perhaps the cat had dragged her downstairs and clawed her throat open. Shabana called the police and filed a criminal report, after which the authorities quickly suspected the father as the perpetrator.
When Qureshi confessed, he explained that his fear of the wrath of Allah led him to seek divine appeasement by sacrificing that which was most precious to him: “I had to offer my most prized possession to Allah,” he told police. “I am a devout Muslim and love my daughter more than my life.” But Allah is a hard master to satisfy. Qureshi thought that if he offered the jewel of his life, his young and innocent daughter, that would demonstrate to Allah his ultimate devotion and submission.
Now, to be fair, Islam does not condone child sacrifice — in fact, Muhammad was instrumental in stamping out female infanticide on the Arabian peninsula. And yet, the taking of life is not an unusual thing within Islam — honor killings, death to apostates, the beheading of infidels, the lionization of martyrdom all contribute to the notion that human life in and of itself is not highly valued.
When you mix that with a legalistic approach to seeking God’s approval, one which drives you to extreme efforts to demonstrate your devotion, and you add to that mix some mental imbalance, you end up with a Nawab Ali Qureshi, who does the unthinkable, barbarically slaughtering his daughter in a quest to appease the Allah of Islam.
There is no question that at some level Qureshi knew his actions were wrong. His kills his daughter at night, as everyone else is asleep. When confronted with his daughter’s corpse, he blames a cat. When he finally confesses, he explains that to appease Allah this “sacrificial offering” was necessary. Later on, he adds that he felt as if Satan had overtaken him in the act of murder.
So, which is it? Was his “sacrificial offering” prompted by Allah’s demands, or by Satan’s machinations? How could Qureshi confuse the inner promptings so grievously, unable to tell the difference between Allah and the devil? Well, as it turns out, he is no better than his prophet, Muhammad, who at least once mistook the whisperings of Satan for the voice of Allah as mediated through the angel Jibril. If Islam’s prophet could be so easily fooled, who can blame one of his frail followers?

DBM echo says
It doesn’t get much loonier in explanation. The cruelty of uncertainty. Who could ever live up to the perfection of Islam when the vagaries are so many and so vague?
Contrast with Christianity. The Christian acknowledges his/her inadequacies and inability to attain perfection and therefore stand, on his/her own merits, before the Father – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” – knowing that without Jesus as our Advocate we are doomed. Works of faith, love, mercy, charity, are merely evidence of salvation, not salvation itself. They will never equal the sacrifice of Jesus. If you could earn salvation on your own by doing such things and following the law, and if such “righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”.”
Unlike the Muslim, the Christian has assurance of salvation when his/her faith is placed in Christ. In John’s first letter the word “know” is used some 40 times. For example, 1 John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
If possible, witness to the Muslim. He/she follows a false and empty path. Jesus calls to them as He calls all lost sheep.

The lack in islam of the concept of a sinful nature and a Mediator before a Holy God is the root of these problems for sure. Seeking to justify oneself never ends well.
So much as islam angers and offends us, it is right and salutary to pray for the muslims, that they be converted to Christ.
Their conversion would spell the end of all jihad, for one thing.

eduardo odraude says
How does one know one is “saved”? Not everyone who verbally affirms they have faith in Jesus will be saved, surely. Rather, some degree (how much?) of sincerity is necessary. Perhaps some are so sincere and so faithful that they know God directly and thus can feel very confident they are saved. But there must be many who are not so pure, do not know God directly, and do not know if they are sincere enough in faith. So I guess they must wonder if they will be saved in the end.

That’s correct, so claiming that Islam is unique in believing that others will not go to heaven is silly. As I’ve said before, the truth about Islam is sufficiently horrific that we should focus on that, and not on straw-man arguments that are easily refuted or deflected. Let’s up our game.

Christian blood Hinduism does not instruct hindus to debar “low castes ” from entering the temples. Brahmins form only five prrcent of the hindu population and yet are hounded as the oppressors of other classes. This a bloody Christian defamation of one of the wisest spiritual traditions globally. Christian evangelist however lose no oppotunity to deride attack and degrade Hindus and their belief system Hinduism. . They do this since they fear the strength of Hindu philosophy which without orchestrated support from MSM , without billions of dollars poured into Christian missionary outposts in India and elsewhere, is flourishing and being appreciated by discerning and thinking people in the West.
Anyhow this is a jihad watch website why spend valuable time attacking Hinduism.
Wellington says
Huge difference, Janwaar Bibi, between belief and action. I don’t really care what people believe, however nutty or vile it might be, but I do care if they act upon nuttiness and vileness with the effect of harm to, or control of, others. Islam is alone here in its theological blueprint endorsing heinous action to implement nutty and vile beliefs.
Janwaar Bibi says
My initial post was in response to the O.P.’s post about imams and whether kaffirs can go to heaven – all three Abrahamic religions are obsessed about heathens, infidels, kaffirs, goyim and so on, and all of them believe only they will go to heaven and no one else. But I take your point – Christian countries by and large have separation of church and state, so these toxic beliefs do not blight the lives of non-Christians in those countries. The situation in Islamic countries and Israel is quite different though.
I’d like to reiterate my bigger point – the truth about Islam is sufficiently horrific that we should focus on that, and not bring up straw-men.
Wellington says
Janwaar Bibi: I think we’re very close to complete agreement here. My only reservation about what you have stated is you lumped Israel with Islamic countries.
Israel is where Israeli-Arab Muslims have more freedoms than they do in any of the over twenty Arab-majority nations. Indeed, Muslim citizens of Israel have more freedoms than in ANY Muslim nation on earth. Moreover, Israel is the only truly free country in the Middle East. This can only function as a tribute to Jews and Judaism, contra Muslims and Islam, both of which remain a menace to all mankind to this very day. Let me put it another way, if every Muslim tomorrow woke up a devout believer in Judaism, the world would be almost infinitely better off. And I write all this as the completely non-religious person, non-Jewish person, that I am.

You have to understand that the only Christian group that says nonbelievers are going to hell are small part of literalist Christians and they are called evangelicals most Christian denominations (including all the mainstream Protestants, the Roman Catholics and the Orthodox Christians and these three groups make up the overwhelming majority of Christians in the world) are silent about this and are non-judgmental leaving the final judgment to God. So you better refrain from brushing all Christians with the same large brush!

Christianity does not have any “toxic” beliefs. No one needs to be “protected’ from Christianity.

But you don’t have to accept any goodness or kindness from Christ or His Father.

Oh please: here is one Christian website explaining that the only way to heaven is to “accept Jesus”.
https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-only-way.html
Question: “Is Jesus the only way to Heaven?”
Answer: Yes, Jesus is the only way to heaven. Such an exclusive statement may grate on the postmodern ear, but it is true nonetheless. The Bible teaches that there is no other way to salvation than through Jesus Christ.
There are any number of other Christian websites saying the same thing.
*****************
You guys are doing Christian taqiyya. I have no problem accepting that there are a lot of unpleasant beliefs in Hinduism that need to be eliminated. Jesus is a remarkably contemporary figure in the sense that what he preached is very civilized (certainly compared to Moses and Muhammad). I respect that but he did say that “the only way to the Father is through me” (John 14:6) and this is usually interpreted to mean that only those who accept Christ as their savior will go to heaven. A small blot on an otherwise civilized record, and as many of you have pointed out, as long as you leave non-Christians alone, you can believe what you want to believe – I’ll take my chances with the Lord, if there is one.
As for Israel, it is certainly civilized compared to Islamic countries but don’t tell me that it is Sweden. Judaism is an unpleasantly supremacist religion in a way that Christianity is not. The Talmud is filled with discussions of things like “Is it permissible to steal from a goy?” (Answer: No but a Jew does not have to return something he finds if a goy lost it, but if a Jew lost it, he is obligated to return it!). Ovadia Josef was not the only prominent Israeli calling goyim donkeys – here is an Israeli politician talking about the master race:

Clearly, you don’t comprehend what I wrote.
You can…as you have so stated is your stand on the matter… REJECT Christ and His offer of love, kindness, goodness, etc.
He isn’t going to FORCE you to accept His offer of salvation. Anyone who wishes to can TURN down the offer.
Evidently, you are not “Rightly disposed for everlasting life.”
However, turning down the offer of life everlasting that Jesus offers, means accepting what happens with refusing the offer. All of the responsibility for refusing rests with you.
And I was writing specifically about Christianity, not what people say one has to do, believe or with any “denomination.” Or website.
Just remember, Believing carries a cost, but not believing carries a risk and a bigger cost. But, it’s your choice to make.

What most of us Kufr do not realise is that the ‘devout’ Muslim believes without question, that he, as an individual exists entirely inside the entity he knows as ‘Allah’. He IS a small integral part of Allah. He IS Allah’s desire. He has no actual free will. Any act committed therefore is condoned and forgivable because he is Allah’s sword arm. He cares not of consequences, Allah has ordered and will reward…as promised in the Qur’an.
