Thumbs up

Salam
Praise be to Allah

We all know what God told us, it's all in the Quran and haddith. so let us make sure we do not associate ourselves with Shayateen, because they come in many forms and can make us forget the most important thing in life and that is focussing in one goal. Our deen is very easy and very straight forward.
Islam is the religion of mercy and kindness, the religion of tolerance and ease. Allah has not burdened the Muslim Nation with more than it can bear. Whatever good it does, it will be rewarded for it, and whatever evil it does, it will have to bear the burden of that sin, as Allah says:

“Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned”. Qur’an (2:286)

Allah has spared the Muslims any difficulty or hardship in all that He has enjoined upon them. Allah says:

“He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion of Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship”. Qur’an (22:78)

Every sin that a Muslim commits because he makes a mistake, or forgets, or is forced to do it, is forgiven by Allah, as Allah says:

“Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error”. Qur’an (2:286)

And Allah says: your prayer is granted.

The Muslim will be brought to account for what he does deliberately, not for what he does by mistake, as Allah says:

“And there is no sin on you concerning that in which you made a mistake, except in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend”. Qur’an (33:5)

Allah is Kind and Merciful. He sent Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) with ease and the tolerant monotheism:

“Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you”. Qur’an (2:185)

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:

“Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded.” (narrated by al-Bukhari, 39).

Satan is man's greatest enemy. He makes him forget the remembrance of Allah (dhikr) and makes his sin attractive to him, as Allah says:

“Shaytaan (Satan) has overpowered them. So he has made them forget the remembrance of Allah. They are the party of Shaytaan (Satan). Verily, it is the party of Shaytaan (Satan) that will be the losers! Qur’an (58:19)

What one’s own self says has also been forgiven by Allah. The Prophet (PBUH) said:

“Allah has forgiven my Ummah for thoughts that cross their minds, so long as they do not speak of them or act upon them.” (Narrated by Muslim, 127)

Whoever commits a sin then Allah conceals it, it is not permissible for him to speak of it, as Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:

“All of my Ummah will be fine except those who commit sin openly.” (Narrated by Muslim, 2990).

If a person commits a sin then repents, Allah will accept his repentance, Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:

“Your Lord has written (prescribed) Mercy for Himself, so that if any of you does evil in ignorance, and thereafter repents and does righteous good deeds (by obeying Allah), then surely, He is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful”. Qur’an (6:54)

Allah is Generous and Kind, He multiplies the reward for good deeds and forgives bad deeds. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, narrating the words of his Lord:

“Allah has decreed hasanaat (good deeds) and sayi’aat (bad deeds), then He explained that. Whoever intends to do a good deed then does not do it, Allah will write it down as one complete hasanah(good deed); if he intends to do it then he does it, then Allah will write it down as between ten and seven hundred hasanaat, or more. Whoever intends to do a bad deed, then he does not do it, Allah will write it down as one complete hasanah; if he intends to do it then he does it, Allah will write it down as one bad deed.” (Agreed upon; narrated by al-Bukhari, Kitaab al-Raqaa’iq, 81)

How is this deduced? we have a similar idea: whoever intends to perform a commandment but is prevented from doing it, is considered as though he had done it. This is deduced from the text but I forgot where, I'll try to look for the passage if I can find some time.

Jer
you are talking about mida?the golden mean.
it refers to a measure of personality that is appropriate under given conditions. if that is the one then yes it is similar in Islam it has to be because we are dealing with the same God
The good midos are basically in force (application is "innocent until proven guilty"). The bad midos are basically to be conquered and eliminated ("guilty until proven innocent").
A fundamental principle regarding midos is established in the Talmud: The mida with which one behaves is the mida with which Heaven behaves to one (Sota 8b). The Talmud (Tractate Shabos 151b) furnishes a concrete (and interpersonal!) example, "All who behave with compassion on other people, Heaven behaves with compassion on him."
