Abstract

God proposes a system of regulations to guide the life of man; ‘these are presented in the form of commandments to be accepted and implemented by man. But God also makes certain promises of what He will do in the event of man's willingness to abide by these commands and regulate his life according to them. Obedience to Allah in itself is not the purpose because obedience from Mankind is of no benefit to Allah. Neither does Man’s disobedience result in any loss or harm to Allah. In fact, obedience to Allah is a way to train and educate Man and its gains and losses are evident in man’s individual and collective life. Therefore, the purpose of obedience to Allah is for Mankind’s benefit, Divine laws and its obedience determine the limits of Man’s outer and inner life. A firm faith requires that Man conquers his inner self and follows the sharīᶜah. This is because Allah’s every injunction has benefit for Man, which Man, with his limited intelligence, cannot fathom. This article targets the rewards of obedience and punishments in case of disobedience of Divine laws revealed in Torah and Quran, which are already mentioned in divine scriptures, along with this the article sheds light on the philosophy of commandments in both divine scriptures (Torah and Quran).
