The Night Journey · Juz 15 · Page 283
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.

Commentary on 17:15
"Barangsiapa yang berbuat sesuai dengan hidayah (Allah), maka sesungguhnya dia berbuat itu untuk (keselamatan) dirinya sendiri; dan barangsiapa yang sesat maka sesungguhnya dia ter-sesat untuk (kerugian) dirinya sendiri. Dan seorang yang berdosa tidak dapat memikul dosa orang lain, dan Kami tidak akan meng-azab sehingga Kami mengutus seorang rasul." (Al-Isra`: 15).
(15) Maksudnya, hidayah dan kesesatan seseorang itu (dam-paknya) akan kembali pada dirinya sendiri. Seseorang tidak akan menanggung dosa orang lain. Dia pun tidak dapat menampik ke-salahan yang dia kerjakan sekecil biji sawi pun. Allah adalah Dzat yang paling adil, tidak akan mengazab seseorang sehingga hujjah tegak atasnya melalui risalah, kemudian orang itu (merespon de-ngan) menentangnya. Adapun orang-orang yang tunduk dengan hujjah atau belum sampai hujjah Allah kepadanya, maka Allah tidak akan mengazabnya. Ayat ini dijadikan dalil bahwasanya Allah tidak akan mengazab ahlul fathrah (orang-orang yang hidup di masa transisi kenabian, pent) dan anak-anak kaum musyrikin (yang meninggal sebelum dewasa), sampai Dia mengutus seorang rasul kepada mereka. Karena sesungguhnya Allah itu suci dari segala bentuk tindak aniaya.

17:8
عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يَرۡحَمَكُمۡۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَاۚ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا ٨

17:9
إِنَّ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ يَهۡدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقۡوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا كَبِيرٗا ٩

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
