Quran : Good and evil deeds (Guidance & Misguidance)
By Tabligh Centre, Dar es salaam
Good deeds cause guidance and evil deeds make one go astray. It is a universal rule to which there is no exception. The Qur'ân describes it in different words, and has based on it many of its realities:
Our Lord is He Who gave to everything its creation, then guided it (to its goal)
Al Quran (20:50).
It means that Allâh, after its creation is completed, guides every-thing, to the goals of its creation and to its per-fection. For this pur-pose, it has been bound to other things, and takes their advantage through action and reaction, uniting and separating, associating and dissociating, advancing and retreating, taking and leaving and so on and so forth. No mistake occurs in the effect of the system of creation, and it never misses its targets. For example, when a fire licks dry wood, it does not want to cool it; and when a tree grows it does not intend to make itself smaller. The Qur'ân says: ... surely my Lord is on the straight path.
Thus, in the world of creation the effect never fails to follow the cause, and there is no discord in it.
The above paragraph gives us two axioms: creative guidance is general and the fact that no mistake ever occurs in creative matters. These two realities are the basis of the system of cause and effect. There is a way, or ways, between a thing and its intended goal, and only through those specific ways it can reach there. A seed grows into a tree only if it passes along its own particular path, complying with all its conditions and means. And a fruit tree grows only its own particular fruit, not something else. In short, each cause creates its own particular effect, and each effect follows its own particular cause. Allâh says:
And as for the good land, its vegetation springs forth (abundantly) by the permission of its Lord, and (as for) that which is bad (its herbage) comes forth but scantily.
Reason and experience vouch for it; otherwise, the law of cause and effect would go awry.

Wa Salam.
Precise calculations, MashAllah. However, I have no idea where you got those numbers from.
Ma Salamah.

I can't quite entertain the notion that our faith is judged with numbers and calculations, however i will take that as an estimate. And God knows what's within our hearts.....

I assume you mean well,but there is a problem with this..
You see,if you say things like 'good deeds will have this reward,and bad deeds will have that reward' you are taking something very fundamental away from the Justice of Islam,in fact you are ruining the whole concept.
Its very simple,Quran already states every sinlge person will be jugded by their actions,and receive reward/punishment based on that,not as a group.
Lets say one who does ,during his life,157 good deeds,and another who does 2 good deeds.. Will they both get 187622,099,12222,17889,777. weeks in heaven?
Now,that doesnt sound fair does it? after all,one did many more good deeds then the other,so why did he not get longer time in heaven then?
And by the way,when those weeks are done where will they go then?
Is there another heaven with new time to stay in? and after that where will they go?
