Does Judaism, Christianity, or Islam believe that there is an universal law that if someone does something bad that they will be punished naturally and if someone does something good, they will naturally be blessed/rewarded? Do these religions agree with "What goes around, comes around" and "Cause and affect"? Do these religions agree with some aspects of karma? Do they disagree? Please give me your thoughts.

On judgement day, God will take into account every single deed, good or bad, how much small it may be
"So. he who has done an atom's weight of good shall see it
And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it. " Quran 99: 7-8.

Not exactly.
In Islam, we believe in punishments, which could be in the afterlife, or in this life.
On the other hand, we don't believe in the many lives that the indian faiths tell about and that the karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives, or that it travels through many egos. We believe that "Every person is a pledge for what he has earned"*.

I can say something about christianity. There is no such believe. However you're suppose to be good towards other people and do good deeds just to grace the lord. You will be rewarded after death wen the judgment day comes - you'll be allowed to join in heaven. And of course, if you were a bad person, you will damned for eternity - you'll burn in hell.

In my views I believe in Karma. Ex- If I steal something Definitely I,ll be punished any how I,ll be disclosed in the society. So This is the natural thing. That is true.

Islam and Christianity teach that you will be rewarded or punished for your actions, though not necessarily in this life. I do not know what Judaism teaches about sin and punishment or good deeds and reward.

I be live so . but they call it different names . karma is basically fate . and i assume that all religious beliefs and faith based organizations believe in karma and fate. however in Islam , for example , one should be both fatalistic and determined . in Christens however , one should always believe that it is his or her fate to come down to earth and bare the mistakes of the mistakes of Adam and eve. Christians have a morbid conception of life , that we are all fated to being sinners ... however in both Islam and Judaism , it is a choice to make .
In Essenes karma or other philosophical trends that are not based on a book sent from above , as the three religions claim , are nothing but manifestation of a higher supreme being that we are answerable to in the end . punishment and rewards systems vary , in karma it is in your life that you get rewarded or punished . in the three above , it is in life and the after life that you get rewarded and punished . in life , you get rewarded according to the three above , through growth and success and you get punished by being a failure or whatever , in the after life the concept of heaven and hell arises ...

The law of cause and effect, yes; the physical rebirth in this world or other world to receive consequences, no.
Reward and punishment is the divine law of God; karma is human interpretation.

no, karma refers to being rewarded in a future life, not this one. so there is no way u can test this. christians and muslims of course believe in a reward in the afterlife. jews are divided on this issue. ancient jews apparently believed, as did greeks and romans, that whatever reward or punishment u get, will be in THIS life, or, as we know, that ur descendants will receive it even if u don;t.

Though not explicitly but I think they do believe because they advise not to do any wrong or do to others what you would not others to do to you,and even that you are accountable for all your acts.Whereas in Hinduism it is more clearly explained.
