The Spectrum of Human Actions According to the Quran
Fifth Foundation: The Quran Teaches That Good Deeds Remove Bad Deeds
The Quran does not only assess human beings at the moment they fall. The Quran also opens the way for them to rise again.
... إِنَّ ٱلْحَسَنَٰتِ يُذْهِبْنَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ ...
“...Indeed, good deeds remove bad deeds...”
Excerpt from Surah Hūd 11:114
This shows that the spectrum of actions is not meant to pass a final judgment upon human beings. It is not a tool to determine a person’s ultimate worth before Allah. Rather, it is meant to help human beings, especially ourselves, see the direction of our own movement.
Are we moving upward toward goodness, or are we moving downward because we have become accustomed to evil?
