The Exalted said:
But they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other] burdens along with their burdens, and they will surely be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent. وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالًا مَعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْ وَلَيُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ
[Al-'Ankabut: 13] In the first verse... Among its benefits is the affirmation of Allah's knowledge, because of His saying:
But they will not carry anything of their sins وَمَا هُمْ بِحَامِلِينَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:12]
for it is a report about a matter that has occurred, yes, occurred meaning in the future.
And among them is also the affirmation of Allah's justice, in that He does not burden anyone with the sin of another.
As for His saying, the Exalted:
But they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other] burdens along with their burdens, and they will surely be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent. وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالًا مَعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْ وَلَيُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:13]
it contains evidence that those who call to evil bear some of the burdens of those they call, because of His saying:
But they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other] burdens along with their burdens وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالًا مَعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:13]
.
And among them is that those who call to good receive a reward like that of those they call, or not? Where do we take this from? Because if the one who calls to evil receives punishment, and this is from justice, then the one who calls to good receives reward, because Allah the Exalted is the possessor of great grace. So if Allah punishes the one who calls to misguidance, how would He not reward the one who calls to guidance?
And among them is the danger of calling to misguidance {May Allah have mercy on you}, in that every person who is affected by this call, the caller bears a burden like his, yes, or some of his burden, as Allah the Exalted said:
and some of the burdens of those whom they misguide without knowledge وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ
[Al-Nahl: 25].
And among the benefits of the verse is the affirmation of the Day of Resurrection, because of His saying:
And they will surely be questioned. وَلَيُسْأَلُنَّ
.
And among them is the affirmation of questioning these people about their evil deeds, because of His saying:
about what they used to invent. عَمَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ
[Al-'Ankabut: 13], and you have known the reconciliation between His saying, the Exalted:
But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked. ولا يُسْأَلُ عن ذنوبِهم المجرمون
[Al-Qasas 28:78]
and His saying here:
and they will surely be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent.وَلَيُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ
[Al-'Ankabut: 13].
And among them is that a person is punished for lying, because of His saying:
about what they used to invent. عَمَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:13]
And there are some people who say that lying is of two types, white and black: the black is that for which there is punishment, and the white has no punishment. The truth is that all lying is black; there is no white in it. They say: the black is that which involves consuming the wealth of others, or encroaching upon it, or violating their honor, meaning that which involves harm to others; this is black. And as for that which involves recreation, reform, and the like, this is white. This is not correct; rather, a warning has come regarding the one who lies to make people laugh. A person must avoid all lying, and the original ruling is that it is forbidden...
Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:
And We had certainly sent Noah to his people ولقد أرسلنا نوحًا إلى قومه
[Hud 11:25]
