Do Muslims believe that they have to earn paradise by good deeds?

Doing good to the natural surroundings

According to the Scripture Allah sent before the Quran he states that salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned or worked for, but there is a condition. That is to believe Jesus is who he and God claims Him to be.
I do.

False and that statement you made is a lie.New International Version
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'
New International Version
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Not everyone who calls Him Lord will enter, but some will. IOW, calling him lord is not what the problem is. The problem is to not believe on whom God sent. Outside of Christ there is no salvation according to the gospel. It is written, that without the shedding of blood (Christ's blood)there is no remission for sin.

Dear 2Acts & Saved,

I'm just trying to keep Allah's commandments in the Quran, and who can judge what I've done is just Allah.

Allah created humans and jinn/genie is to worship Him, therefore, we need His forgiveness and compassion. Allah says that whoever the person who runs His commands, then he/she will go to heaven, and if otherwise, then he/she will go to hell.
On that basis, someone who wants to go to heaven, firstly, he/she must do Allah's commands, humans can not live as he pleases without the testimony of Allah, and I think all religions have the rules of God to be done by humans.

Regards,
Asep
