D
Mizan
Correct Answer: Option C — Individual accountability (La taziru waziraton wizra okhra)
Explanation:
The Quran explicitly states in multiple verses including Surah Al-Anam (6:164) that no soul shall bear the burden of another. This principle of individual accountability is fundamental to Islamic theology and justice. Every person is responsible solely for their own deeds and will stand before Allah on the Day of Judgment to account for their own choices.
