Surah 39

Surah 39:7

"If you are ungrateful – surely God is wealthy (enough) without you. Yet He does not approve ingratitude in His servants. If you are thankful, He approves it in you. No one bearing a burden bears the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you have done. Surely he knows what is in the hearts."

– No one bearing a burden bears the burden of another

When humans return to God, each will bear the responsibility for what he or she has done. For an analysis of this theme of bearing only one’s own burden (wizr), see the comments at 53.38.
