Did you know?
- While کرما is understood, Urdu speakers more commonly use the phrase جیسا کرو گے ویسا بھرو گے to express the concept of karma. It literally translates to 'as you do, so shall you reap'.
- Because Urdu is a language heavily influenced by Islamic concepts, the idea of karma is frequently cross-referenced with the concept of حساب, which refers to the 'accounting' of one's deeds on Judgement Day.
- In a cultural context, the belief in 'karma' in Pakistan and India often blends with the Islamic concept of قضا و قدر ('qaza o qadr'), which refers to divine decree and fate.

- کرما بہت طاقتور چیز ہے۔karma bohat taqatwar cheez hai.Karma is a very powerful thing.
