Transliteration:( Man kafara fa'alaihi kufruhoo wa man 'amila saalihan fali anfusihim yamhadoon )
"Whoso commits infidelity [98], the burden of his infidelity is on him, and those who do good they are preparing it for themselves [99]."
This means that each person is accountable only for their own infidelity; others will not bear the burden of one’s disbelief.
From this, we understand that minor children of disbelievers will not be punished for the disbelief of their parents.
This shows that righteous believers will surely receive the reward for their good deeds. Even if they share their rewards with others, they will not lose any of their own due recompense.
