The Opposite of Charity

The holy Quran tells us that our good deeds will be multiplied for us many times over but that our evil deeds will be counted for what they are. In this way, God tells us that none is wronged by Him, nor does anyone get but what they have earned in their lifetimes. Yet in Surah al A'raf verse 38, God makes it clear that the punishment for those who did evil and did not mend their ways is "already multiplied for them, if only they knew". We discuss the idea that while God does not multiply evil, evil deeds often have unintended and lasting effects on the world and beings around them. In this way, we find that humans might be held accountable for the karmic effect of what they have contributed to the world. In this way, we examine the "opposite of charity". Enjoy!
