You Have Been Warned

Peace Bro Ahmed
I am very stubborn man, so I stand by what I said.
In the Quran Allah also said that the ones who fear Him the most are the Ulamahs (or ones endowed with knowledge), so there is a gradation... (yakhsha Allah min ibadihy alulamah)
Cheers Bro

Cheers

I trust in Allah's Mercy, as far as I do not indulge in idolatry, and I have repented from that, and hopefully stay like that until I die.
OK here it is I hope Salat is a good deed too, even if compulsory, and extra salat is definitely a good deed. A good deed is a good deed (as explained in the Quran). A bad deed is a bad deed (as explained in the Quran).
So my understanding is that the good deed of Salat wipes out bad deeds.
You are allowed to comment on this (just kidding) ... ;D
PS Of course there are restrictions, as specified about Kabair, Qassas, etc... -

Let me explain why I just can?t accept it logically that doing good deeds will overwrite some bad deeds, I also don't consider Salat a good deed because it is compulsory, the concept of trading good deeds with bad deeds sounds too human to me, I can accept that Allah will forgive the bad deeds as stated below
And (as to) those who do evil deeds, then repent after that and believe, your Lord after that is most surely Forgiving, Merciful.
(153)
-> See ? ?, ? And (as to) those who do evil deeds then repent after that and believe?, they must repent and BELIEVE for the bad deeds to be forgiven. It has nothing to do with good deeds. It makes no sense bro. in fact understanding it the trade way gives a virtual license to do bad deeds that can be dodged with many good deeds.
The above is said differently as follow
And He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons the evil deeds and He knows what you do;
(25)
-> Again, ? And He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons the evil deeds?, great sense, why Allah accept repentance?, not because I?m good with you, rather because I care about my Salat to Him, otherwise I have to be held accountable to my bad deeds and pay my dues because I don?t deserve His Afu, because I cared less about Salat that relates ONLY to Him, how He can forgive me if I cared less about Him doing my Salat and totally took Him out of the picture thinking that my good deeds are enough to secure this forgiveness that I will be in desperate need from Him alone?, it does not add up bro
The confusion here bro that the word ? ? does not have to mean ?Bad Deeds? only, IT WILL ONLY MEAN as such if we have verb to do before it, like in 7153 mentioned above, therefore if we don?t have verb to do in front of it, it can mean 2 things, ?doing bad deeds? or ?Misfortune caused by Allah?, let?s look at the following verse
And if We cause him to taste grace after some misfortune that had befallen him, he saith The ills have gone from me. Lo! he is exultant, boastful;
(10)
-> See bro ? The ills have gone from me?, see how it was said in Arabic ? ?, almost the same words as ? ? in 11114, this is a very strong argument against you bro, now we have the same words used to imply that ?the misfortune will go? sure by Allah, so in 11114 if we pray to Allah at the two ends of the night and part of the night which is Hasnaat, then He may remove the Sayaat on us, i.e. He won?t test us with more misfortune, this understanding can be seen in the following verse indeed
And We cut them up on the earth into parties, (some) of them being righteous and (others) of them falling short of that, and We tried them with blessings and misfortunes that they might turn.
(16
-> Now I have another very strong argument against you bro, we read that Allah is ? We tried them with blessings and misfortunes?, and in Arabic ? ?, the same two words appeared in 11114, ? ?, so why not praying at the two ends of the night and part of it will earn those blessings from Allah that He will cause less misfortune to them in life?, I?m talking 11114 in here
See why I can?t take it that good deeds ?other than Salat, I don?t consider Salat good deed anyway? has nothing to do with bad deeds, only the blessings of Allah is the only factor in not holding us accountable to our bad deeds, and for us to deserve that blessings we need to pray the two ends of the night and part of it as stated in 11114
Time to go to work
Take care

There are good deeds the human way, and Good Deeds fully and only to please Allah.
With Salat, extra Salats are Good Deeds.
If you are worshiping Allah you are doing a Good Deed to yourself, by following what you were created for.
Again we have a semantics problem between us...
Ultimately we want the same thing, Imanu BiLLah wa ijtinabi attaghut...
Look around you, people and animals need threats and motivation to do things.
Plus we do have to compensate against our bad deeds if we have hurt or wronged someone, and that means literally compensating or erasing a bad deed with a good one...
Maybe you do not feel comfortable with the idea of trade, but Allah says that the best trade for the Believer is the trade with Allah, through Good Deeds and following the Deen...

NobleExactly you trade WITH Allah "not with other people" while you are a BELIEVER, now to be really successful in that trade and claim your loses back you need to show Allah that you worship Him sincerely then you will be entitled to Afu and forgivenss of the bad deeds
for example imagine the following two
- a believer who did 10 good deeds and 10 bad deeds
- a non beleiver who did the exact same 10 good deeds and 10 bad deed
I'm talking deeds to others in here NOT to the self
according to your understanding both should not be punished, and this is a huge conflict indeed

Dear Brother Ahmed
Why do you put in my mouth what I never uttered?
From the start I only refer to Muslims/Believers.
As for the unbelievers, they reap their material rewards in this life, and are denied paradise in the hereafter...
Bro be careful as you jump to conclusion too fast. I know (usually) what I am talking about, despite my many flaws and imperfections.
Again I repeat I was referring to those who believed....

Your examples cannot work, people don't record their good deeds and bad deeds like on a spreadsheet.
As for a believer, he is not supposed to do any bad deed anyway.
But if he does, and Allah has not punished him yet, he has the chance to avert the punishment by repenting and doing good.

did i put anything into yout mouth?, as far as I believe i didn't i said "According to your understanding " i never said you said such and such, you said good deeds will compensate bad deeds, now I said according to your understanding both should not be punished,
so now you confirmed that only believers desrve forgivenss right?, ok then we are talking that those who believe will be entitled to forgivness, i.e the good deeds has nothing to do with forgiving the bad deeds

Salam Bro Ahmed
Still misunderstandings.
The non believers are not entitled any forgiveness, period.
Good deeds / bad deeds
As a believer you only get forgiven if you repent. If you do a good deed, you get rewarded, if you do a bad deed you get punished.
Good deeds bring you closer to Allah, bad deeds move you away from Allah.
Good deeds do not have to be material, a du'a can be a good deed, for instance istighfar make you avoid punishment.
I stand by what I said, Good deeds for the believer are his armour that protect him from punishment, however mindfullness and fear of Allah is greater...
What does Allah need from our punishment if it were not for our prayers (Quran)

PS Of course there are restrictions, as specified about Kabair, Qassas, etc...How is it that one performs salaat and haj, while at the same time not indulge in idolatry and then repent to claim "Allah's" trust? Perhaps your point is not clear enough.

Dear Brother Ahmed
I asked in a prayer Allah yashrah li sadri (istikhara) about the subject of fear. This is a reflection in progress, so please kindly do not be quick to argue/judge/criticise
Allah does not need our fear or our worship.
He created us to worship Him, therefore it is better for us that we do.
Part of the worship is that we believe in Him, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, The Last Day, and The Qadha/Qadar (all of these can be found in the Quran).
Now for the subject of fear, I do not think khashiat refers to fear at all. The translation in english is due to the pollution from man-made additions in the bible and hadith.
A better probable translation is Beware, or be Deeply Conscious and Convinced. If you replace these in most occurences where Khashiat is mentioned, it will make sense, in other contexts, khashiat also means concern or also giving much importance to, like khashiat kufar instead of khashiat Allah.
Why I am saying this, is because fear is a very negative emotion, it leads to immobility and lack of movement, and I do not think Allah wants us to be immobilised.
The warning and the examples given are frightening in themselves, but all the time we have a recipe to not fall under their categories. Allah uses these to warn us of His punishment, and the remedy is His worship.
As for the good deeds / bad deeds issues, it is vital, because how then will Allah measure the levels in Paradise and Hell (Darajaat wa Darakaat, Phirdaws Ala'ala, Assabiquoon Almuqarabuun, Ass'haba Almaimanat, Ass'haba Almash'amat, Alkufaar, Almunafiquun...etc)
May Allah increase us in knowledge and encourage us to better practice.
Salam
