What does the conceptual framework of Islam imply about the universe within which we live?
Part I of II
Islam tells us, beware, justice will prevail. It may or may not come in this universe but either way, it will come in the afterlife, in eternity.

Hinduism brings us the concepts of “a” Causative Force, an eternal soul, and the connection of the two. Judaism spreads the ideas to the West.
Buddhism brings us the idea that suffering must not be tolerated.
Christianity tells us to love one another, which is the first step to eliminating suffering.
Islam tells us to take the concept of eliminating suffering seriously, for although justice may not prevail here on earth, there will be no escaping it in eternity.
Buddhism for enlightenment, Christianity with love, Islam to avoid the repercussions, all point towards the same idea: work to eliminate suffering.
Islam, as well as the rest, does not imply these ideas are earthly ideas.
It implies they are absolutes.
They do not lack qualifiers.
We have no right to say justice should apply in one case, but we will overlook it in another case.
