Understanding Islam, and reading the Qur'an chapter-by-chapter

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

A few years ago, some exchange students from Saudi Arabia ate baked beans without knowing that it contained pork until another student ran up and told them. I asked my Alawite friend what Islam has to say in this kind of situation, and she said that actions in Islam are judged on intention.


So if they did not knowingly eat pork, it's no big deal and they are not held accountable. This also applies to a wide range of other actions and deeds, for example accidents resulting from good intentions, to deal with unforseen consequences. She said it's not explicitly laid out in scripture, but still a widespread teaching.


I have no idea if Christianity has a similar thing, but I would think it is implied.

It speaks of believers, disbelievers, and hypocrites, the tenets of faith, the grace of God and how much God values Humans, the special privilege given to the Jewish people and the importance of Children of Israel, how to pray, how to fast, what pilgrimages to make, and laws concerning marriage, military defense, and financial matters.

Does "Children of Israel" also include Christians here? I know it's sometimes used as a blanket term, and Islam sometimes affords Christians protections specifically.
