Sin is personal: it is not inherited and no one bears another’s burden. These verses show how sins corrupt hearts, bring trials and punishment and lead nations to ruin; they mention the sin that is not forgiven and cite wrongs such as blaming an innocent person or harming believers, while no blame falls on one who errs unintentionally.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allāh. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you. And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred but [only for] what your hearts intended. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.
