Each is Accounted for Himself

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 39:07). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, ‘Wa Lā Taziru Wāziratun Wizra 'Ukhra’, ‘And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm. Everyone will be accounted. There will be no fault on others. Allah ﷻ has given mind. And He ﷻ created us in the best way. People don’t have any excuses. It is not an excuse to say, “I didn’t know. I didn’t do that.” Everyone is, as they say: “Every sheep is hung by its own leg.” No one is responsible for the guidance of others or their actions. The responsibility is on themselves.

Certainly, if someone shows some badness and people follow him and do what he does, the punishment will come to both: those who do it, who imitate him, and to him who accustom people to badness. There will be a responsibility upon everyone. And it is wrong for them to say, “He is the one to blame. It is not my fault. Punish him.”

The person who makes others do bad things and wants them to imitate him will be punished once if he misleads one person. Two, three, five; if there are millions of people who are misled from the way, he will be punished for these millions. But those who did it will not be saved either.

They will be saved if they repent and ask for forgiveness. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has opened the Door of Repentance. He ﷻ has opened the Door of Mercy. He ﷻ says, “Come, O My servants! I will forgive you. Don’t do it. Don’t do this evil. Allah ﷻ doesn’t like those who do evil. He ﷻ doesn’t like those who don’t believe in Allah ﷻ. My Door of Mercy is open. Come and repent and ask for forgiveness in order to be saved”.

When they don’t listen, they will carry their punishment themselves. Others won’t carry it for them. If they say, “This person taught me this. I didn’t know. I didn’t know it was bad”, they won’t be saved. They will carry their punishment. And those who made them do it will carry double the punishment, five fold of it or as much as the quantity of people they have misled. If people favor them, trust and imitate them, they will be punished too. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

May Allah ﷻ give guidance, because the time we are living in is the time that approves badness. They have made it the jewel in the crown. They think they are important and are happy. But they don’t know what is coming next. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give guidance. May Allah ﷻ protect our nation and Muslims from the evil of these shaytans.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
