6:70 And leave to themselves all those who, beguiled by the life of this world, have made play and passing delights their religion; but remind [them] herewith that [in the life to come] every human being shall be held in pledge for whatever wrong he has done, and shall have none to protect him from God, and none to intercede for him; and though he offer any conceivable ransom, it shall not be accepted from him. It is [people such as] these that shall be held in pledge for the wrong they have done; for them there is [in the life to come] a draught of burning despair and grievous suffering awaits them because of their persistent refusal to acknowledge the truth.
(Surah An'am (#6), Ayah 70)
several things mentioned here, but the most pertinent are two:
1) that each individual is responsible for his/her actions, and is answerable to them one day. you might get away with it today or even tomorrow, but the next day you will be at God's Mercy.
2) the entire world offered as ransom, will not be accepted on that day. no matter how much money you have or power you possess, you will be reduced to less than nothing. only your thawaab and hasanat will be carried forward.
