That was a community that had already gone before. For them is what they earned and for you is what you have earned. And you will not be accountable for what they have done.

Their Story, Your Deeds
Reading Surah al-Baqarah (2:134) through Hadith
The verses before this leave us standing beside Ibrahim and Yaʿqub (alayhima al-salam).
We watch Ibrahim answer his Lord without hesitation.
We hear him advise his children to remain in submission until the end.
We stand beside Yaʿqub as he asks his sons what they will worship after him.
And just as we begin to admire these remarkable lives, the Qur'an gently turns the page.

No man is responsible of another. When I read this verse, it got me thinking that indeed, we are accountable of our own doings. However, it is our duty to remind others to worship only Allah so that no one can claim they haven’t heard any reminder, directly or indirectly. The easiest way to convey Allah’s messages is to share it with your parents, children, siblings, relatives and close friends. A simple and short Quranic verse is more than enou...
