302 The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)

NO ONE WILL BEAR ANOTHER PERSON'S SINS

Whoever is guided is only guided to his own good.
Whoever is misguided is only misguided to his detriment.
No burden-bearer can bear another's burden. We never
punish until We have sent a Messenger. (Surat al-'Isra, 15)

Torah

The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the
guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The
righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the
wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him. (Ezekiel
18:20)

PEOPLE ARE PUNISHED FOR WHAT THEY
HAVE DONE

Any disaster that strikes you is through what your own
hands have earned, and He pardons much. (Surat ash-
Shura, 30)

Torah

What has happened to us is a result of our evil deeds and our
great guilt, and yet, our God, you have
punished us less than our sins have de-
served and have given us such deliv-
erance as this. (Ezra 9:13)
