Sura 17 Al-Isra (The Night Journey), ayah 15

  1. مَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا

    Translation by words

    مَّنِ
    Whoever
    ٱهْتَدَىٰ
    (is) guided
    فَإِنَّمَا
    then only
    يَهْتَدِى
    he is guided
    لِنَفْسِهِۦ
    for his soul.
    وَمَن
    And whoever
    ضَلَّ
    goes astray
    فَإِنَّمَا
    then only
    يَضِلُّ
    he goes astray
    عَلَيْهَا
    against it
    وَلَا
    And not
    تَزِرُ
    will bear
    وَازِرَةٌ
    a bearer of burden,
    وِزْرَ
    burden
    أُخْرَىٰ
    (of) another.
    وَمَا
    And not
    كُنَّا
    We
    مُعَذِّبِينَ
    are to punish
    حَتَّىٰ
    until,
    نَبْعَثَ
    We have sent
    رَسُولًا
    a Messenger.

    Whoever is guided is only guided for (the benefit of) his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger.
