مَّنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا

EnglishSaheeh International
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.

எவன் நேர்வழியில் செல்கின்றானோ, அவன் தன்னுடைய நன்மைக்காகவே நேர் வழியில் செல்கிறான்; எவன் வழி கேட்டில் செல்கின்றானோ, அவன் தனக்கே கேடு செய்து கொண்டான்; (நிச்சயமாக) ஒருவனுடைய பாவச்சுமையை மற்றொருவன் சுமக்கமாட்டான்; (நம்) தூதரை அனுப்பாத வரையில் (எவரையும்) நாம் வேதனை செய்வதில்லை.

කවරෙකු යහමඟ ලැබුවේ ද එසේ ඔහු යහමඟ ලබනුයේ ඔහුගේ ආත්මය වෙනුවෙනි. තවද කවරෙකු නොමඟ ගියේ ද එසේ ඔහු නොමඟ යනුයේ එයට එරෙහිව ය. තවද බර උසුලන්නෙකු වෙනත් කෙනෙකුගේ බර නො උසුලයි. තවද අපි ධර්ම දූතයකු එවන තෙක් (කිසිදු සමාජයකට) දඬුවම් කරන්නන් ලෙස නො සිටියෙමු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
جو راه راست حاصل کرلے وه خود اپنے ہی بھلے کے لئے راه یافتہ ہوتا ہے اور جو بھٹک جائے اس کا بوجھ اسی کے اوپر ہے، کوئی بوجھ واﻻ کسی اور کا بوجھ اپنے اوپر نہ ﻻدے گا اور ہماری سنت نہیں کہ رسول بھیجنے سے پہلے ہی عذاب کرنے لگیں.
JapaneseRyoichi Mita
誰でも導かれる者は,只自分の魂を益するために導かれ,また誰でも迷う者は,只自分を損うために迷う。重荷を負う者は,他人の重荷を負うことは出来ない。われは(警告のため)一人の使徒を遣わさない限り決して懲罰を下さない。
ChineseMa Jian
谁遵循正道,谁自受其益;谁误入迷途,谁自受其害。一个负罪者,不负他人的罪。派遣使者之前,我不惩罚(任何人)。

Tafsir of 17:15

No One will have to bear the Sins of Another Allah tells us that whoever is guided and follows the truth, walking in the footsteps of the Prophet , he will gain the good consequences of that for himself. وَمَن ضَلَّ (And whoever goes astray,) meaning from the truth, deviating from the way of guidance, he is wronging himself and will have to bear the consequences. Then Allah says: وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى (No one laden with burdens can bear another's burden.) no one will have to bear the sins of another, and he does not wrong anyone besides himself, as Allah says: وَإِن تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَى حِمْلِهَا لاَ يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ (and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted) 35:15 There is no contradiction between this and other Ayat: وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالاً مَّعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْ (And verily, they shall bear their own loads, and other loads besides their own.) 29:13 and: وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ (and also of the burdens of those whom they misled without knowledge.) 16:25 For those who called others to do evil will bear the sin of their own deviation as well as the sin of those …
