This study examines the role of sa‘y(striving)in shaping human destiny, focusing on the Qur’anic verse “wa an laysa li-l-insāni illā mā sa‘ā”(Najm53:39).This verse is central to debates on divine justice, moral responsibility, and the possibility of transferring reward, as it affirms the foundational role of human agency in determining one’s ultimate outcome.Employing a descriptive–analytical method and drawing upon authoritative lexical sources, Qur’anic evidence, the context of verses 36–41of Sūrat al-Najm, exegetical opinions, and relevant traditions, the study explores the precise meaning and scope of sa‘y.The findings indicate that, in Qur’anic discourse, sa‘y is not limited to outward action but denotes deliberate, conscious, and goal-oriented effort rooted in human intention and awareness.Examination of related verses further shows that the principles of individual responsibility and personal ownership of one’s deeds occupy a central place in the Qur’an.Analysis of traditions concerning the benefit of others’actions to the deceased reveals that such cases do not imply a transfer of reward or augmentation of a person’s record of deeds; rather,they are understood within the framework of guidance, admonition,and moral influence.Accordingly, the verse underscores the existential independence of the human being in shaping his destiny and confines the role of others to cognitive and spiritual guidance.
