Srinagar:Makafat-e-Amal” can be translated as “consequences of actions” and is basically the idea of reward and punishment.Makafat-e-Amal is ought to work but I’ll explain the Islamic concept .
Allah sees and counts everything we do. In addition, we have angels who record all that we do, and on Yawm al-Qiyamah everything will testify, even the earth itself.
If we do good, Allah might reward us in this life and the aakhirah, or He might save our reward for the aakhirah.
Similarly, if we do evil, Allah might punish us in the dunya and the aakhirah, or He might allow us to have material wealth in the dunya and then punish us in the aakhirah.
It’s up to Allah, in His wisdom, to do with us as He pleases.
No one is punished for the misdeeds of anyone else. Everyone is responsible for his own soul.
Allah (S.W.T.) says in surat Al-Isra’, (Verse 15), what can be translated as, “Whoever goes right, then he goes right only for the benefit of his ownself. And whoever goes astray, then he goes astray to his own loss.
No one laden with burdens can bear another’s burden…”
Allah also says in Surat ,Fussilat(Verse no 46) Allah .Allah also says in Surat ,Fatir (Verse no 18).
There are a few exceptions, for example someone who is in a position of authority. He is responsible for the deeds of those in his care, to the extent that he has control or authority over them.for example ,If the head of a family allows his children to commit sins without consequence, and without at least trying to teach them properly, he is responsible.
Similarly, if someone does a “sadaqah jaariyah” – a continuing good deed that reaps benefits for years to come – then he receives a reward for that. The Prophet (sws) said:
“If a human dies, then his good deeds stop except for three: a Sadaqa Jariah (continuous charity), a beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him”.
Narrated by Muslim.This is a well-established principle in Islam. The Messenger of Allah (sws) said,”Actions are only according to intentions, and to each only what he intended.
Whoever emigrates towards God and His Messenger, his emigration is towards God and His Messenger; whoever emigrates for the attainment of a worldly goal or in order to marry a woman, then his emigration is only towards what he emigrated to.”
So no one is punished for unintentional actions.^
When people say, “You’ll know what it feels like when it happens to you,” they’re not talking about any kind of religious principle or law. I think they are just referring to a general principle of life: that everyone suffers from betrayal and loss at some point.
So you might harm others and feel no guilt, but one day you will suffer harm, and then you will feel what you have done.
The Literal Meaning Of Makafat e Amal is : Outcome or Result of One’s Action
This World is a Field for the Day Of Judgement, As you sow, so shall you Reap.
