Tafsir

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 53:38

Open in Qurani

That no burdened person shall bear the burden of another. Meaning, every soul shall carry its own injustices, whether disbelief or sin, and none else shall carry its burden of sin, as Allah states

وإن تدع مثقلة إلى حملها ﻻ يحمل منه شء ولو كان ذا قربى

And if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin. (35:18) Allah said,

وأن ليس لﻼأنسان إﻻ ما سعى
