Every individual is responsible for their own actions, and the sins of others do not directly affect them; however, social effects may exist.
In the Holy Quran, the issue of sins and their effects on individuals is clearly addressed. In Surah Al-An'am, verse 164, Allah states: 'And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.' This verse emphasizes that each individual is responsible for their own deeds, and the sins of others do not bear on their shoulders. Furthermore, in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 286, Allah reiterates that no soul will be charged with the burden of another soul, highlighting personal accountability for one's own actions. This encourages individuals to focus on their deeds and avoid sins actively. The Quran reminds us that everyone will answer for their own actions, and Allah is fully aware of the faith and deeds of His servants. Moreover, the Quran also discusses social connections and the collective impact of sins within society, which can amplify wrongs in a community. So while another person’s sin does not affect me directly, it can have social consequences that might indirectly influence me. Therefore, everyone should strive to avoid sins and focus on self-improvement to ensure harmonious and peaceful coexistence in society.
And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.
Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.
Once upon a time, a man lived in a world full of sins and corruption. He was always worried whether the actions of others affected him or not. One day, he decided to go to the mosque and ask a religious scholar. The scholar replied, 'Each person is responsible for their own actions, and you should focus on yourself.' The man, after this advice, decided rather than worrying about others, to strive to improve himself and invite others to goodness. Over time, he realized that his life had become better and more peaceful with this change in attitude.
