Surah Faatir · Ayah 18·Makkī

18

وَلَا وَإِن إِلَىٰ لَا مِنْهُ وَلَوْ ذَا إِنَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ وَمَن فَإِنَّمَا وَإِلَى ﴿١٨﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of] its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative. You can only warn those who fear their Lord unseen and have established prayer. And whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the benefit of] his soul. And to Allah is the [final] destination.
