Thoughts

[Ibrahim_K]

In islam, is one judged for thoughts or actions? Too me it happens all the time that I have "bad" thoughts, for example when someone has offended me etc., but I never act according to these sinful thoughts, rather I try to be a nice persons despite what I might think.

If you think to do a bad deed and do not carry it out, then a good deed is recorded for you. If your bad thought is the bad deed then a bad deed is recorded. For a good deed the reward is 10 to 700 times the weight of that good deed and a bad deed carries one bad deed in weight. Allah has made our religion so easy in this respect and does not want us to fail. Peace

[Woodrow]

Overcoming our bad thoughts and not acting upon them is part of the greater Jihad. We most likely will never fight any battle more difficult. To win that battle is a big step in the direction of Jannah.
May Allaah(swt) reward you for your victories in your inner battles.

My imam said " if you think of a good deed to do and you don't accomplish it,you get rewards for the intention,however it's the opposite for bad intentions in thoghts as if you think of a bad deed and don't do it you don't get any good or bad deeds." hope that helps you.
