Commentary on 17:13–14
"Dan tiap-tiap manusia itu telah Kami tetapkan amal per-buatannya (sebagaimana tetapnya kalung) pada lehernya. Dan Kami keluarkan baginya pada Hari Kiamat sebuah Kitab yang di-jumpainya terbuka. Bacalah kitabmu, cukuplah dirimu sendiri pada waktu ini sebagai penghisab terhadapmu." (Al-Isra`: 13-14).
(13-14) Ini merupakan pemberitahuan tentang kesempurnaan keadilan Allah; bahwasanya Dia menetapkan amal perbuatan pada setiap orang (sebagaimana kalung yang menempel) pada lehernya. Maksudnya, setiap amal perbuatan yang dikerjakan, baik ataupun buruk, niscaya Allah menetapkan (ganjarannya) pada pelakunya, tidak akan berpindah kepada orang lain. Ia tidak akan dihisab ber-dasarkan amal orang lain. (Begitu pula) orang lain pun tidak dimintai pertanggungjawaban berdasarkan amalan orang tadi. ﴾ وَنُخۡرِجُ لَهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ كِتَٰبٗا يَلۡقَىٰهُ مَنشُورًا ﴿ "Kami keluarkan baginya pada Hari Kiamat sebuah Kitab yang dijumpainya terbuka." Di dalamnya terdapat segala sesuatu yang pernah dia kerjakan berupa kebaikan dan keburukan, baik yang besar maupun kecil. Kemudian dikatakan kepadanya, ﴾ ٱقۡرَأۡ كِتَٰبَكَ كَفَىٰ بِنَفۡسِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكَ حَسِيبٗا ﴿ "Bacalah kitabmu. Cukuplah dirimu sendiri pada waktu ini sebagai penghisab terhadapmu." Inilah bentuk keadilan dan keobyek-tifan terbesar, manakala dikatakan kepada seorang hamba, "Hisablah dirimu sendiri." Supaya dia mengetahui fakta dosa yang ada pada dirinya yang mendatangkan azab. 9

17:8
عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يَرۡحَمَكُمۡۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَاۚ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا ٨
[Then Allāh said], "It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed."
17:9
إِنَّ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ يَهۡدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقۡوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا كَبِيرٗا ٩
Indeed, this Qur’ān guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward
17:10
وَأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا ١٠
And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter - We have prepared for them a painful punishment.
17:11
وَيَدۡعُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهُۥ بِٱلۡخَيۡرِۖ وَكَانَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَجُولٗا ١١
And man supplicates for evil [when angry] as he supplicates for good, and man is ever hasty.1

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ءَايَتَيۡنِۖ فَمَحَوۡنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَجَعَلۡنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلنَّهَارِ مُبۡصِرَةٗ لِّتَبۡتَغُواْ فَضۡلٗا مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلِتَعۡلَمُواْ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلۡحِسَابَۚ وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٖ فَصَّلۡنَٰهُ تَفۡصِيلٗا ١٢
And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible1 that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail.

[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant."
17:15
مَّنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهۡتَدِي لِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبۡعَثَ رَسُولٗا ١٥
Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger.
17:16
وَإِذَآ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نُّهۡلِكَ قَرۡيَةً أَمَرۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فَدَمَّرۡنَٰهَا تَدۡمِيرٗا ١٦
And when We intend to destroy a city, We command its affluent1 but they defiantly disobey therein; so the word [i.e., deserved decree] comes into effect upon it, and We destroy it with [complete] destruction.

And how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as Aware and Seeing.
