So whoever does righteous good deeds while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism), his efforts will not be rejected. Verily We record it for him (in his Book of deeds).7

Then whoso doeth some good works and is a believer, there will be no rejection of his effort. Lo! We record (it) for him.

Whoever works any act of righteousness and has faith,- His endeavour will not be rejected: We shall record it in his favour.

Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is a believer, there shall be no denying of his exertion, and surely We will write (It) down for him.

So whoever does deeds of righteousness, and he is a believer, then there will be no disavowal of his endeavor; and surely We write it down for him.
