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
"O ye who belive! Endure, outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe your duty to Allah, in order that you may succeed"
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.
