Is there any karma concept in Islam ?
The answer depend on how you interpret it. when I studied in madrasah long time back I could not recall if there is any similar word in Islam compare with "Karma" .
let us get the idea what karma is in Hinduism/Budhism
it is the term use for cause and effect or what comes around will come around. your action has the consequences, for every action they will always reaction if you do bad or good the affect will goes back to you. your fate is never set you are the one who create your fate. you are the one who create your own happiness and misery. so if you did bad or good thing in the past you will be reincarnated as what you've done. you can reach Moksha or reincarnated as human. but if your past so bad you may end up reincarnated to be animals in the future life.

This concept in Islam absolutely rejected. we don't believe in reincarnation. Islam believe God the one who control everything, we depend on Him, he is the source of everything and we human has been given free choice to think and chose to be bad or to be good and in the end He is the one who judge us and recompense with Hell or heaven.
1. If Karma means every word, deed and thought of man has its fullest consequences/ natural law/ cause and effect. than this term could be called "'Sunatullah in islam". (sunatullah can be nature, society)
example : if you study hard you will upgrade the class.
when the bird alive they eat ants and when the bird die, the ants eat the bird.

2. If Karma means you are the one who create your own fate. than Islam disagree.no one can chose to which family, race, nation they will be born, we can not chose when we should die as we wish. it is the fate that has been written. furthermore if I was product of the soul from the past why i couldn't be so wise or smart after all bad thing I've done in the past.what did i learn ? and why people who probably has good karma and born as king queen yet they still do an error and how long this Karma keep rotation until certain human can reach mokhsa. ? keep in mind no man is perfect. does reincarnated soul means rebirth again ? means those soul when they rebirth again become zero experience/knowledge again, yet when it comes to dejavu they said that's the proof that we are incarnated but my question how could my soul amnesia that i couldn't remember what was my name and family before.
Islam very clear that every soul is created by God and it will return to God. and we believe in Qadar and Qadar.

How karma can answer below example.
* bad leader during his life cause corruption war, no one can touch him, he live in his glory until even his death. so in this case Karma seem does not work. but In Islam we understood as "istidraj" God withhold the punishment in the world but later on in final judgment God will punish him.

*There is a case you do good thing but instead you get bad thing as recompense, people betray you, use you, injustice to you. put you in jail until death example. in this case karma seem does not work. but in Islam we believe that all bad thing that happens to you if you accept it ikhlas/sincere it will expiate all your sins. and the person who do bad to you will get recompense either now or later in final judgment.
In Islam we don't believe ill fortune. means if today I am very poor, handicap, ugly it is because my past life I was bad person. no we don't believe at all. instead we believe God create us with different condition and if we are content/ sincere with what we have. God will recompense it in final judgment far more than what we have.
the condition poor, ugly, etc it just to make human learn a wisdom and know that we are weak and we can do nothing except by His will. God did not see you are ugly, poor or rich. He look at your effort to be "Better person " the person who know who His creator and know how to thanks. (even if you dont thanks and worship him it doesnt cause anything in His glory. we human need him as we depend everything to Him)
so we can see the different right ?
