Question

My question is concerning justice for the wronged. Why are people who have wronged me doing very well while I am struggling to strive? What happened to karma of what goes around come around? What is the Islamic ruling on karma?

Answer

There is no such thing like karma in Islam. This is a concocted Hindu and Buddhist belief. In Islam each person will be rewarded for the good he does and will be punished for his wrongs. Do not be concerned about these things. Turn your hearts towards Allah Ta'ala and He will bless you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
