God says
Every human being is bound to taste death: only on Resurrection Day you will be requited in full [for whatever you have done]…. Q.3:185
I shall not lose sight of the labour of any of you who labours, be it be a man or a women: each of you is an issue of the other* …. Q.3:195
*I.e., “you all are members of one and the same human race, and therefore equal to one another.
Whoever shall come (before God) with a good deed will gain ten times the like thereof; but whoever shall come with an evil deed will be requited with no more than the lieu thereof. -- Q.6:160
And whatever [wrong] any human being commits rests upon himself alone; and no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another’s burden.* -- Q.6: 164
*This basic ethical law -- which is also found in 17:15, 35:18, 39:7 and 53:38 – constitutes a categorical rejection of the Christian doctrines of “original sin” with which every human being is allegedly burdened from birth and “vicarious atonement” for mankind’s sinfulness by Jesus.
Every child is born innocent and remains in this sinless stage until the age of discretion. His duties towards God and duties towards His creations are clearly defined in the Qur’an and the Traditions of the Prophet. Observance of these (virtues) enables the soul reach its perfection (paradise): their neglect (sin) leads to degradation (hell).
Prophet said
“I used to tend goats for the inhabitants of Mecca (for the wages of) a few Qirats” -- H:Bukhari. N: Abu Hurairah.
“Wretched man is he who follows his low desires and (then) rests hope in God” -- H: Tirmizi and Ibn Majah. N: Shaddad-b-Aus.
