Say, "Is it other than Allah I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things? And every soul earns not [blame] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ."
Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
Say ‘Shall I seek any other than God for a lord for a god in other words I shall not seek any other than Him when He is the Lord the Possessor of all things?’ Every soul earns of sin only against itself; and no burdened no sinful soul shall bear the burden of another soul. Then to your Lord shall you return and He will inform you of that over which you differed.

"Allah,Most High said:
'O My Slaves! All of you are astray except whom I guide, so ask Me for guidance and I shall guide you. All of you are poor except whom I enrich, so ask Me and I shall provide you. All of you are sinners except whom I have pardoned, so whoever among you knows that I am the One able to forgive, and seeks My forgiveness, I shall forgive him, without concern for Me (and it will not affect Me). If the first of you and the last of you, the living among you and the dead among you, the fresh among you and the dry among you were to gather together to help the heart with the most Taqwa among My slaves, that would not add a mosquito's wing to My sovereignty. If the first of you and the last of you, the living among you and the dead among you, the fresh among you and the dry among you were to gather together to help the worst heart of My slaves, that would not diminish a mosquito's wing to My sovereignty. I shall forgive him, without concern for Me (and it will not affect Me). If the first of you and the last of you, the living among you and the dead among you, the fresh among you and the dry among you were to gather together upon one plateau, and each person among them were to ask for his utmost desire, and I were to give each what he asked for, that would not diminish from My sovereignty, except as if one of you were to pass by an ocean and dip a needle into it and then remove it. That is because I am the Most Liberal without need, the Most Generous, doing as I will. I give by My speech and I punish by My speech, whenever I will something I only say: "Be" and it shall be.'" Another chain reports a similar narration.
" Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said to everything which had taken a part of lies ashes to return what it had taken."
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'O Banu 'Abd Manaf! Buy your souls from your Lord. I cannot avail you anything before Allah. Abu Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib! Buy your souls from your Lord. I cannot avail you anything before Allah. But between me and you there are ties of kinship which I will uphold.'"
that she asked 'Aishah about the saying of Allah, blessed and Most High: And whether you disclose what is in yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it (2:284). And about His saying: And whoever does evil, he will be recompensed for it (4:123). She said: "No one has asked me about it since I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he said: 'This is Allah's admonition for His slave regarding whatever he is stricken with, of fever and problems, even the item that he has in the pocket of his shirt which he loses and worries about, until the slave's sins are removed, just as the red ore is removed from the bellows.'"
The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied,
"Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They
replied in the negative. He said, "You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of
Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the people to follow what they used to
worship. So some of them will follow the sun, some will follow the moon, and some will follow other
deities; and only this nation (Muslims) will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them and
say, 'I am Your Lord.' They will say, 'We shall stay in this place till our Lord comes to us and when
our Lord will come, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I am your
Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid
across Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to cross it with my followers.
Nobody except the Apostles will then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us.
O Allah Save us.'
There will be hooks like the thorns of Sa'dan ?"
The people said, "Yes." He said, "These hooks will be like the thorns of Sa'dan but nobody except
Allah knows their greatness in size and these will entangle the people according to their deeds; some
of them will fall and stay in Hell forever; others will receive punishment (torn into small pieces) and
will get out of Hell, till when Allah intends mercy on whomever He likes amongst the people of Hell,
He will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels
will take them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the
(Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole
of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as
mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds
growing on the bank of flowing water.
Then when Allah had finished from the Judgments amongst his creations, one man will be left
between Hell and Paradise and he will be the last man from the people of Hell to enter paradise. He
will be facing Hell, and will say, 'O Allah! Turn my face from the fire as its wind has dried me and its
steam has burnt me.' Allah will ask him, "Will you ask for anything more in case this favor is granted
to you?' He will say, "No by Your (Honor) Power!" And he will give to his Lord (Allah) what he will
of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then turn his face from the Fire. When he will face
Paradise and will see its charm, he will remain quiet as long as Allah will. He then will say, 'O my
Lord! Let me go to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will ask him, 'Didn't you give pledges and make
covenants (to the effect) that you would not ask for anything more than what you requested at first?'
He will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched, amongst Your creatures.' Allah will say,
'If this request is granted, will you then ask for anything else?' He will say, 'No! By Your Power! I
shall not ask for anything else.' Then he will give to his Lord what He will of the pledges and the
covenants.
Allah will then let him go to the gate of Paradise. On reaching then and seeing its life, charm, and
pleasure, he will remain quiet as long as Allah wills and then will say, 'O my Lord ! Let me enter
Paradise.' Allah will say, May Allah be merciful unto you, O son of Adam! How treacherous you are!
Haven't you made covenants and given pledges that you will not ask for anything more that what you
have been given?' He will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched amongst Your
creatures.' So Allah will laugh and allow him to enter Paradise and will ask him to request as much as
he likes. He will do so till all his desires have been fulfilled . Then Allah will say, 'Request more of
such and such things.' Allah will remind him and when all his desires and wishes; have been fulfilled,
Allah will say "All this is granted to you and a similar amount besides." Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri, said to
Abu Huraira, 'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'That is for you and ten times more like it.' "Abu
Huraira said, "I do not remember from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except (his saying), 'All this is granted to you
and a similar amount besides." Abu Sa`id said, "I heard him saying, 'That is for you and ten times
more the like of it."
