What is the ruling on believing in and having faith in karma; is it permissible, forbidden, or a type of shirk (polytheism)?

"Karma" is a term in Indian religions used to describe the consequences of actions performed by a living being, whether good or evil. It is a self-operating law of recompense, not subject to divine judgments, and is alleged to govern every creature and monitor its actions.

This belief is false because: 1. It is a human fabrication with no basis in divine revelation. 2. It disregards religious law and the heavenly religious doctrines. 3. It attributes governance and accountability to Karma instead of to Allah. 4. It is part of a false system that seeks purported eternal salvation.

We are self-sufficient with the religion of Allah, having no need for such beliefs. Allah holds accountable for even the weight of an atom; He is the Dominant, the Preserver, and He knows everything.
