How is Karma and Moksha Defined in Islam – Dr Zakir Naik
MVWRSQA-15
Questioner: Good evening to everybody. I am Mrs Suta Parsata, I’m a teacher by profession. With due respect sir I wish to ask you a question how is karma and Moksha defined in Islam and how it is indifferent while in practice?
Dr. Zakir: Sister’s asked a question that how is Karma and Moksha defined in Islam. Karma sister in Hindu scriptures means deed, the deed that you do, action. It should be followed according to Dharma. And the Hindu Scholars they believe in a philosophy known as Samskara, the cycle of birth-death, birth and death known as reincarnation or the theory of transmigration of soul. And they believe whatever Karma you do if you do good deeds in the next life you’ll be born of a higher level if you do bad deeds in the next life you’ll be born of a lower level. If you do good deeds you’ll be born like a human being, If bad deeds may be like an animal, like a rat, like a cat or like a cockroach. And only if there are no things, there are no balance of good and bad then you get Moksha from the cycle of Samskara, birth and death. This is the philosophy of the Hindu scholars but this is nowhere mentioned in the Veda, is nowhere mentioned in the Vedas, the highest authorities. They do try and derive it from Bhagvad Geeta, which is mentioned in
Bhagvad Geeta ch. No. 2 verse no. 22 that
“Like a body changes clothes and puts on new clothes same way a soul puts on a new body.”
In the Hindu scriptures there is mention of Punar Janam in the
Vedas Book no. 10 Hymn no. 16 verse no. 4-5 Punar means next, Janam means life, Next life. We believe in next life. We believe we came in this world once, we’ll only come once, we were alive before Allah caused us to die, we came in this world, again we’ll die, again we’ll be resurrected in the next world. So we believe in this world, Islam believe we’ll come once and then we’ll be resurrected, raised up alive in the next hereafter. Depending upon your good and bad deeds, you’ll go to hell or heaven, Swarg or Narak. This is what the Vedas say but they could not realize, the Hindu scholars that how come some people are born deaf, some people blind, some people poor, some people rich, some people healthy so God cannot do injustice. So they came up with this philosophy of cycle of birth, death, birth, death, transmigration of soul which is nowhere mentioned in the Veda even Bhagvad Geeta when it says you throw away your old clothes and put new clothes same way the soul throws away the body and puts a new body once. I have got no objection. Once you die, again you’re resurrected but Islam has a reply for their query because the Hindu scholars could not agree that how can God be unjust. Some people born deaf, some people healthy, some people with a heart disease, some people rich, some people poor, Islam believes Allah says in
Surah Mulk Ch. No. 67 verse no. 2
“Allathee khalaqa almawta walhayata”
It is Allah who has given death and life to test which of you is good in deeds.
So this life is a test for the hereafter. Now some people are born rich, some people are born poor, the rich people the Quran says you have to give Zakaat, whatever saving you have more than the 85 grams of gold, more than Nisaab, 2½% Zakaat every lunar year, you have to give. The rich person may give, may not give. He may give half…
