Surah Al-Baqarah 2 : 285 - 286
long as the later followers of the original deed continue with their good
deeds. Similar is the case with one who gives currency to an evil way;
he too will be incurring its curse as the original innovator of this evil
way when later people follow him, and keep getting involved with the
sin for all times to come.
Similarly, narrations in hadith prove that one can transmit the
reward of one's good deeds to any other person. It is clear that in all
these situations, man is receiving reward or punishment without
intention and volition.
Here is an answer to this doubt. It is obvious that this reward and
punishment did not reach a person directly, but it reached him
through the medium of another person. In addition to that, one's own
act and choice do surely play a role in making another person a
medium of thawab for onself. The reason is that whoever adopts a good
or evil way initiated by someone, then in his doing, there certainly is a
role played by the voluntary act of the original person, even if he did
not intend to release such particular effect. Similar is the case of a
person who does his isal al-thawab (the prayer for transmittal of
reward) for somebody only when he has done him some favour. In view
of this, the said reward and punishment of somebody else is, in reality,
the reward and punishment of one's own deeds.
The noble Qur'an, towards the far end, teaches Muslims to make a
special du'a or prayer in which forgiveness has been sought on
commission of some act because of forgetfulness or neglect or mistake.
It was said:
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآَ إِنْ تَسِيْنَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
Our Lord, do not hold us accountable, if we forget or make a
mistake.
Then it was further said:
تَّنَا وَلَا تَحُمِلُ عَلَيْنَا إِصُرًا كَمَا حَمَلُتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحِّلُنَا
مَالَا طَاقَةَ لَتَابِهٍ
Our Lord, do not place on us a burden such as You have
placed on those before us. And our Lord, do not make us bear
that for which we have no strength.

725
Surah Al-Baqarah 2 : 285 - 286
Indicated here are the severe restrictions placed on the Bani Isra'il
(Israelites), such as, a piece of cloth could not be made fully pure
unless cut or burnt, or that repentance could not be accepted without
killing. Alternately, it could mean that punishment should not visit us
as it visited the Bani Isra'il following their evil deeds.
In short, Allah Almighty bestowed His best when He promised the
acceptance of all these prayers through His Rasul, the last among the
prophets, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
