Allah's Generosity

Such is Allah's generosity that not only is a person rewarded many times over for doing a good deed but even has one good deed recorded jus for having the intention of doing the good deed. Moreover, if someone intended to do a bad deed but did not actually carry it out, than Allah will reward them with a full good deed in their account. Allah is so generous that if someone intended a bad deed and than carried it out, than only one bad deed is written into their account.

Say: "O People of the Scripture (the Jews and Christians), come to a word that is equitable between us and you; that we shall worship none but Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead Allah." But if they turn away, than say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims (submitting to Him)."

(Quran, The Family of Imran 3:64)
