Ok ive been informed that this part of the forum is where i should post the following thread
Ive heard a Muslim goes to heaven if they do more good then bad and if Allah shows them Grace. Is this correct?
If so does this mean that Allah compromises on sin and "lets people of the hook"? Lets people into heaven even though they have done wrong? If this is the case I dont understand how Allah can be considered good, righteous and just. I guess id see it like the Muslim offers Allah a bribe in that they want Allah to overlook there crime because they did some good. If i murder or steal and my only defence is most of the time i do good, does that make me any less guilty of the times that i did wrong? When does all the lies and theft etc get made right? when is justice served, do you belive that your good enough to get to heaven via your own righeosness?
Imagine this senario in a courtroom just on earth - Somone murderes somone close to you and are they are Arrested, they are taken to court to meet the judge to see that justice is served. They stand and state there defence "that was the only person i ever killed and im really sorry and just look at all the other people i havnt killed, ive obeyed the law more then ive disobeyed it" Then the judge says "well i guess your right you have obeyed the law more then you have disobeyed it" and then lets the person go free.
Would you consider that judge to be corrupt? Did that Judge really make sure justice was served? Is that judge a good just judge?
Keep in mind God knows everything we have done wrong and if he is just he should bring to justice all the things he knows we have done wrong. How can he tolarate sin? if he dosn't punish it just like the judge in the courtroom he is no longer Good and Just.
