16:25 - Let them bear on the Day of Judgment their own burdens in full and also (something) of the<br />

burdens of those without knowledge whom they misled. Alas how grievous the burdens they<br />

will bear! 2048<br />

2048 Their responsibility or crime is twofold: (1) that they rejected Allah's Message, and (2) that they misled others. Their<br />

Penalty will also be double. In vi. 164, we are told that "no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another". This is<br />

against the doctrine of vicarious atonement. Every man is responsible for his own sins; but the sin of misleading<br />

others is a sin of the misleader himself, and he must suffer the penalty for that also, without relieving those misled, of<br />

their responsibility. (16.25)<br />

31:6 - But there are among men those who purchase idle tales without knowledge (or meaning) to<br />

mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a<br />

humiliating Penalty. 3584<br />

3584 Life is taken seriously by men who realize the issues that hang upon it. But there are men of a frivolous turn of mind<br />

who prefer idle tales to true Realities and they are justly rebuked here. In the time of the holy Prophet there was a<br />

pagan Nadhr ibn al-Harith who preferred Persian romances to the Message of Allah, and turned away ignorant men<br />

from the preaching of Allah's Word. (31.6)<br />

38:26 - O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in<br />

truth (and justice): nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart) for they will mislead thee from the<br />

Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah is a Penalty Grievous for that<br />

they forget the Day of Account. 41774178<br />

4177 Cf. ii. 30, and n. 47. David's kingly power, and the gifts of wisdom, justice, psalmody, and prophethood were bestowed<br />

on him as a trust. These great gifts were not to be a matter of self-glory. (38.26)<br />

4178 As stated in n. 1471 above, this vision and its moral are nowhere to be found in the Bible. Those who think they see a<br />

resemblance to the Parable of the prophet Nathan (2 Samuel, xii. 1-12) have nothing to go upon but the mention of<br />

the "one ewe" here and the "one little ewe-lamb" in Nathan's Parable. The whole story is here different, and the whole<br />

atmosphere is different. The Biblical title given to David, "a man after God's own heart" is refuted by the Bible itself in<br />

the scandalous tale of heinous crimes attributed to David in chapters xi and xii. of 2 Samuel, viz., adultery, fraudulent<br />

dealing with one of his own servants, and the contriving of his murder. Further, in chapter xiii, we have the story of<br />

rapes, incest, and fratricide in David's own household! The fact is that passages like those are mere chroniques<br />

scandaleuses, i.e., narratives of scandalous crimes of the grossest character. The Muslim idea of David is that of a<br />

man just and upright, endowed with all the virtues, in whom even the least thought of self-elation has to be washed off<br />

by repentance and forgiveness. (38.26)<br />

71:27 - "For if Thou dost leave (any of) them they will but mislead thy devotees and they will breed<br />

none but wicked ungrateful ones.<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 93 Narrated by<br />

AbuHurayrah<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: `Lose no time to do good work before you are caught up by one of the seven<br />

calamities.' Then by way of warning he recounted,`A starvation which may impair your wisdom, or a prosperity which may<br />

mislead you, or an ailment which may damage your health, or an old age which may harm your senses, or a sudden death or<br />

the appearance of Dajjal (Antichrist). All these are bad events which may be awaited; or the Doomsday, but this day is indeed<br />

very hard and bitter.'<br />

Transmitted by Tirmidhi.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 9.410 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah bin Amr<br />

I heard the Prophet saying, "Allah will not deprive you of knowledge after he has given it to you, but it will be taken away<br />

through the death of the religious learned men with their knowledge. Then there will remain ignorant people who, when<br />

consulted, will give verdicts according to their opinions whereby they will mislead others and go astray."<br />
