Sins will be a burden on its Doer 


           وَمَنۡ يَّكۡسِبۡ اِثۡمًا فَاِنَّمَا يَكۡسِبُهٗ عَلٰى نَفۡسِهٖ‌ؕ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمًا حَكِيۡمًا ۞

           مگر جو برائی کما لے تو اس کی یہ کمائی اُسی کے لیے وبال ہوگی، اللہ کو سب باتوں کی خبر ہے اور وہ حکیم و دانا ہے

      He who commits a sin, commits it only to his detriment. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.[4:111]

 

We are responsible for all of our deeds whether it’s good or bad.

No person earns any (sin) except against himself (only), and no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another.) thus emphasizing Allah's reckoning, decision and justice that will occur on the Day of Resurrection. The souls will only be recompensed for their deeds, good for good and evil for evil. No person shall carry the burden of another person, a fact that indicates Allah's perfect justice.

No father or mother can ask Allah swt to transfer their children’s sins to them, in order to have the sins of their children erased. Thats why Allah swt says: ‘And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another’, neither will children be punished for the sins committed by their parents etc.

The disbelievers tried to misled the Muslims by claiming ‘Follow our path and we will bear your wrongs’, [29:12] Allah swt responds to their claim

And those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Follow our path and we will bear your wrongs. And never shall they be the bearers of any of their wrongs; most surely they are liars. ( meaning: the disbelievers cannot erase or even reduce the wrongs of the believers by bearing their wrongs, everyone is responsible for his own deeds and  everyone must suffer the consequences and penalty for his own sins).

Double Punishment: People who misled others to disbelief get what they deserve, they received a punishment for their own sin and also for misleading others.

So Allah swt punishes those extra who misled others by giving them a burden of sin like that of those who follow him, but the misled ones won’t get their sins erased! They will still be held responsible for their own sins! So, the misleader doesn’t take the burden away of the one who was misled, or in other words; And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another (17:15)

The mis leader is completely held responsible for his own sin à misleading others. Allah swt will increase his burdens therefore.
