18

وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى وَإِن تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَى حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَى إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالغَيْبِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَمَن تَزَكَّى فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّى لِنَفْسِهِ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ

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.

Tafsir

{And no soul shall bear the burden of another soul. And if a soul, burdened with a burden, should call someone to bear some of it, nothing of it will be borne by him, even if the one called is a relative, such as a father or son. The lack of bearing the burden in both parts is a decree from God. {You can only warn those who fear their Lord unseen}, that is, they fear Him and have not seen Him, because they are the ones who benefit from the warning, {and establish prayer}, they maintain it. {And whoever purifies himself} purifies himself from polytheism and other things, {purifies himself only for the sake of his own soul}, so his righteousness is specific to him. {And to God is the final destination}, so He will reward for the deeds in the Hereafter.
