Will a soul be credited from the deeds of another?

Will a soul be credited from the deeds of another?

The Quran says: God asserts the fact that no soul will be accountable to the sins of another, and equally that no soul will be credited from the deeds of another. In other words, each soul will be held accountable only to what it has done.

“Every soul is responsible only for his/her own work” 53:39

“……….. no soul benefits except from its own work …..” 6:164

Hadith attributed to the prophet:

In spite of these firm assurances from God, there are hadith that quote the prophet declaring that one can observe Hajj on behalf of others (whether they are dead or alive)! and that one can give Zakat on behalf of them and also fast on behalf of them! In other words, these hadith cancel all the content of 53:39 and 6:164 and declares that despite what these Quranic ayat say that one can still benefit and be credited on Judgement Day from the work of another!

Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 26, Number 589:

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abbas:

“Al-Fadl (his brother) was riding behind Allah’s Apostle and a woman from the tribe of Khath’am came and Al-Fadl started looking at her and she started looking at him. The Prophet turned Al-Fadl’s face to the other side. The woman said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The obligation of Hajj enjoined by Allah on His devotees has become due on my father and he is old and weak, and he cannot sit firm on the Mount; may I perform Hajj on his behalf?” The Prophet replied, “Yes, you may.” That happened during the Hajj-al-Wadaa (of the Prophet ).”

The obvious question here is: would the prophet of God teach what is in violation to the message of the Quran? Would God present a rule in the Quran only for it to be contradicted by His loyal prophet?

Islam (Submission in English)

Islam (Submission in English) Islam (Submission in English) is an old religion, older than the prophet Muhammed. Islam (Submission) was founded by Abraham. See Quran, 22:78 , 3:67-68 , and 16:123 .It is through Abraham that all of Islam's religious practices were revealed. 2:127-128 . The Prophet Muhammed was a messenger of God and the Final Prophet who brought the Final message, Quran, to the world, 33:40 . God told the believers that His book, the Quran is complete, perfect and fully detailed, see 6:19 , 6:38 , 6:114 , & 12:111 . God reminded them that He does not run out of words, and if He so willed He could have given us more than one Quran , if He would have deemed it necessary, see 18:109 and 31:27 God, the Knower of all things, the Cognizant, knows that after the death of the Prophet Muhammed people will invent lies about the prophet and call it Hadiths and Sunna. God, ahead of all of them used the word Hadith in the Quran. God gave His true believe...

IS HADITH DIVINE??

IS HADITH DIVINE??        Some people claim that the "Hadith & Sunna" are divine revelations. Obviously, they are not aware that the criterion of divine revelations is PERFECT PRESERVATION. Since the so-called Hadith & Sunna of the Prophet have been vastly corrupted, they can never meet the criterion of divine revelation. It is an acknowledged fact that the vast majority of Hadiths are false fabrications. Please see the section on "The numbers of Hadiths". After your review of "the numbers of Hadiths" you will find that as much as 99% of the hadiths alleged for the prophet were lies and fabrications. Not a simple number to ignore regarding God preserving His divine revelations as stated in 15:9 . "Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder (Azekrra) (Quran), and absolutely, we will preserve it." Again in 41:41-42 "Those who rejected the Quran's proof (Azekr) when it came to them, have also rejected an Honorable book. No ...

Can the devil bring physical harm or hardship upon the believers?

Can the devil bring physical harm or hardship upon the believers? This question has been debated by many over time and although the Quranic verdict is clear about this issue yet many are not aware of it. Many believers believe that Satan and the devils can actually bring physical harm upon the believers. However the Quran confirms that this is not possible. Perhaps many have been inclined to this belief as a result of reading how the prophet Ayyub (Job) complained to God saying that the devil has caused him lots of harm. “Remember our servant Ayyub (Job): he called upon his Lord, “The devil has afflicted me with hardship and pain” 38:41 It appears from Ayyub’s complaint that the devil has actually caused him pain and hardship. Many will say that Ayyub was a prophet of God so he would know the truth. However, messengers of God are ordinary men who are just as fallible as anyone else. They too could misunderstand any issue or event they may experience. The ca...
