The individuality of accountability and recompense.
0:11
Allah, the Glorified, says:
0:14
“And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone.” (19:95)
0:18
And He, the Glorified, says:
0:20
“That no laden one shall bear another's load,” (53:38)
0:24
“And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,” (53:39)
0:27
“And that his effort will be seen.” (53:40)
0:30
“And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment;” (53:41)
0:34
For Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, does not hold people accountable
0:37
in a collective or general sense;
0:39
rather, He holds them accountable as individuals,
0:42
each according to his own deeds and within the limits of his own duty.
0:46
"And if a burdened soul calls another to bear its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative."
0:49
“And no burdened soul can bear another's burden, and if one heavy laden crieth for (help with) his load, naught of it will be lifted even though he (unto whom he crieth) be of kin. Thou warnest only those who fear their Lord in secret, and have established worship. He who groweth (in goodness), groweth only for himself, (he cannot by his merit redeem others). Unto Allah is the journeying.” (35:18)
0:51
Even if he were a near relative.
0:53
The misguidance of those who go astray does not harm a person
0:56
provided he himself is guided and has fulfilled his duty of conveying the message.
1:00
He, the Glorified, says:
1:02
“O ye who believe! Ye have charge of your own souls. He who erreth cannot injure you if ye are rightly guided. Unto Allah ye will all return; and then He will inform you of what ye used to do.” (5:105)
1:06
“O ye who believe! Ye have charge of your own souls. He who erreth cannot injure you if ye are rightly guided. Unto Allah ye will all return; and then He will inform you of what ye used to do.” (5:105)
1:10
Just as the righteousness of the community does not benefit a person
1:14
if he himself is not righteous.
1:17
