وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٩
wa-an laysa lil'insāni illā mā saʿā
And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives

80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
And that man will only obtain the reward of the action that he did.
and that man will not receive except what he strives for,
And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad).4
[4] (V.53:39) Narrated Abû Hurairah رضي الله عنه Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "When a person is dead, his deeds cease (are stopped) except from three:
a) Deeds of continuous Sadaqah (act of charity): e.g. an orphan home (orphanage) or a well for giving water to drink, etc.
b) (Written) knowledge with which mankind gets benefit.
c) A righteous, pious son (or daughter) who begs Allâh to forgive his (or her) parents."
(Sahih Muslim. The Book of Wasâyâ (Wills and Testaments).
And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,
That man can have nothing but what he strives for;
And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for-
And that man will have nothing except that for which he has endeavored (to achieve);
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا۟ وَءَاثَٰرَهُمْ وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ فِىٓ إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.
