The Qur'an states:“That no burdened person (with sins) shall bear the burden (sins) of another. And that man can have nothing but what he does (of good and bad). And that his deeds will be seen, Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense [fair] ” (Quran 53:38-41)
1- Both Adam and Eve admitted their flaw. They repented and Allah accepted their plea:
‘Our Lord we have wronged ourselves souls. If You forgive
us not and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall
certainly be of the losers’ ” (Qur'an 7:23)
2-Our prophet taught us that children are
innocent till they reach the age of puberty.
That the people who are mentally disabled
and have mental illnesses are also
Innocent. That those who sleep walk are also
Innocent thus God is not unfair and judges
those who can not respond for their action.
God is Fair... So we do not pay for someone else's sins!

I find it interesting that both the Quran and the bible agree but christians don't agree with the bible!

Please see my previous question about original sin to see my evidence from the bible itself!
Ezekiel 18:20 The person who sins will die.
A son will not be punished for his father's sins,
and a father will not be punished for his son's sins.
The righteousness of the righteous person
will be his own, and the wickedness of the
wicked person will be his own.
I think the statement above is clear enough!
Jesus said children are sinless: Mathew 18: 1-6 , Mathew 19:14 , Luke 18:16-17
Even Paul said that we are just responsible for our sins:
Romans 2:6-7

This is the Doctrine of Atonement, which was accepted by the Church three or four centuries after Jesus left the earth. It contradicts the Bible, as the following passages show: Deuteronomy 24:16: "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin."; Jeremiah 31:30: "But every one shall die for his own iniquity ...", Ezekiel 18:20: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." Adam and Eve were responsible for their own sin, which was forgiven by God according to the Islamic version.
Some claim this is from the Old Testament.
Read what Jesus himself said in Matthew 7: 1-2.
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
Read I Corinthians 3:8.
"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour." But we believe in Original Sin!
Do you still want me to prove that children are born without sin? Read Matthew 19:14.
"But Jesus said: 'Suffer not little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
So everybody is born without sin and all children belong to the kingdom of heaven. Do you know that it was Paul who abolished the Mosaic law? Read Acts 13:39.
"And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."

Yes, you are right that we all are responsible for our own sins, and not anyone else's. You have pointed this out clearly with the verses you quoted. Absolutely!
But these verses don't speak about the corporate affects of our ancestors' choice to sin. They only highlight the consequences of the ACT of sinning, which is of course individually experienced. Before our ancestors, Adam and Eve, did choose to sin, we didn't have this condition called Sin (with a capital S): that being 1) the propensity towards the act of sinning (with a lower case s), 2) nor the toil of physical labor, 3) nor the desire of the woman for her husband, 4) nor to be bearing children in pain, 4) nor physical death. Read again over all of chapter 3 of the book of Genesis and you will see that these affects are all mentioned. And, this is what the Apostle Paul meant in Romans 5:12 of the New Testament, "Therefore, just as Sin (the condition = higher case S) entered the world through one man, and death came to all men, because all have sinned (the act = lower case).
And, isn't it a fact that everyone has sinned? Haven't you? I know I have. And any sane person would have to admit that they have too. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. In Ezekiel it says, "The soul that sins will die." This in itself is not just some coincidence, just as much as all of us now will experience our physical death some day. These are clear indications that we all are subject to this Sin condition; whether we agree, like it, or not. Therefore, original sin does not mean that we are paying for Adam and Eve's sins, but rather that we are inheriting a Sin condition, evidenced by all these aforementioned affects, similar to how particular predispositions to diseases and mental illness runs through the blood line of different families.
So, it is not enough to just try not to sin (the act). (Of course this attempt is good!) But, because of this Sin condition that we inherited, we eventually will and then just as Ezekiel says, "The soul that sins will die." So, we are "dead" in our sins, no matter if they are few or many, just as Ephesians 2:1 says, "For you were dead in your trespasses and sins." So can a dead person raise themselves up from the dead? (Do I really need to answer this?)
This is why Jesus Christ came to pay the penalty for our sins, which is death, by dying on the cross, and then to be raised up on the third day, so that we too can be raised up our of our dead, sinful condition. He is our only hope, not our works, as good as they might be (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The Quarn or Koran, does not agree with the Bible , if it did there would be no split between the 2 But the gap is wide over many things .No one is born pure , with sinless blood if that was true then why are we not all sinless creatures and God like

yea, Muslims do believe that Adam and Eve committed the original sin, but when were born, were born pure, sin-free, until we reach the age of puberty...no one pays for someone elses sins, which goes the same for Jesus...we dont believe that he "died" for our sins...
