Yunos 41-44
41- BUT IF THEY REJECT YOU, SAY: “I HAVE MY DEEDS AND YOU HAVE YOUR DEEDS, YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT I DO, AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO.
42- AND SOME OF THEM LISTEN TO YOU, BUT CAN YOU MAKE THE DEAF LISTEN EVEN THOUGH THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
43- AND SOME OF THEM LISTEN TO YOU, BUT CAN YOU GUIDE THE BLIND EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO VISION.
44- INDEED ALLAH IS NEVER UNJUST TO PEOPLE, IN ANY WAY, BUT PEOPLE ARE UNJUST TO THEMSELVES.
Allah’s justice is absolute and total. Everyone is responsible for his own deeds, not for those of others, unless one takes part in other people deeds, possibly through advice or any other means. Allah the Highest said: “YOU WHO BELIEVE, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SELVES, THOSE WHO ARE MISGUIDED DO NOT HARM YOU IF YOU ARE RIGHTLY GUIDED, TO ALLAH YOU WILL ALL RETURN TO TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE DOING”. (S: 5 A: 105)
Each of us is responsible for his/her belief, which is the most important aspect of our life. Ibrahim, peace upon him, also said to the disbelievers of his people that he had no responsibility or guilt for what they worshiped other than Allah the Highest. Allah the Highest said: “YOU HAVE A GOOD EXAMPLE IN IBRAHIM AND THOSE (WHO BELIEVED) WITH HIM, AS THEY SAID TO THEIR PEOPLE: ‘WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR GUILT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN OTHER THAN ALLAH”. (S: 60 A: 4)
Many disbelievers do not want to even hear the guidance, while others hear it but without paying due attention or without the intention to understand. No one can make them want to attend and understand.
Many disbelievers do not want to look at the truth, but some look at it, without trying to see or understand, and none of us can make them.
Allah the Highest is reassuring us that He is the Most Just, and will not be unjust to us in any way, or the least amont. Allah the Highest said: “ALLAH IS NOT UNJUST BY AS MUCH AS AN ATOM, AND WHEN A GOOD DEED IS DONE, IT WILL BE MULTIPLIED, AND WILL GIVE FROM HIS BOUNTY A GREAT REWARD”. (S: 4 A: 40)
The Just is one of Allah’s good names, for He has forbidden himself to be unjust as He has forbidden us, He said: “My slaves, I have forbidden myself to be unjust, and have forbidden injustice between you, so do not be unjust”. (M: Ber)
Indeed, worshipping partners besides Allah the Highest is the greatest injustice one may do to himself. Allah the Highest said: “AND AS LOQMAN SAID TO HIS SON ADVISING HIM: ‘MY SON, DO NOT WORSHIP PARTNERS BESIDES ALLAH FOR WORSHIPPING PARTNERS BESIDES ALLAH IS A GREAT INJUSTICE”. (S: 34 A: 13)
We cannot be unjust to Allah the Highest, but we are often unjust to ourselves by disobeying our Creator. Allah the Highest said: “ALLAH WAS NOT UNJUST TO THEM, BUT THEY WERE UNJUST TO THEMSELVES”. (S: 3 A: 117)
And Moses, peace upon him, said to his people: “AND AS MUSA SAID TO HIS PEOPLE: “O MY PEOPLE, YOU HAVE BEEN UNJUST TO YOUR OWN SOULS BY TAKING THE CALF (TO WORSHIP)”. (S: 2 A: 54)
Even when we are unjust to our fellow man, we are in reality more unjust to ourselves, for our punishment is much worse than his suffering.
