WISDOM AND SOUND ADVICE FROM THE TORAH

You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from You.
(Psalms, 69:5)

QURAN: Everything in the heavens and everything on the
earth and everything in between them and everything under
the ground belongs to Him. Though you speak out loud, He
knows your secrets and what is even more concealed. (Surah
Ta Ha, 6-7)

Our Lord! You know what we keep hidden and what we di-

vulge. Nothing is hidden from Allah either on the earth or in
heaven. (Surah Ibrahim, 38)

Whether you keep your words secret or say them out loud He
knows what the heart contains. (Surat al-Mulk, 13)

Nobody Can Assume Responsibility
for Another's Sins

TORAH: ... 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)

QURAN: 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)
