O idolaters! Your requital will only be for the disbelief and sins you used to commit in the world.
and you will only be recompensed for what you used to do,
And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do (evil deeds, sins, and Allâh’s disobedience which you used to do in this world)
Ye are requited naught save what ye did -
But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought;-
And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
And in no way will you be recompensed, except according to whatever you were doing.
وَٱلْعَصْرِ …
By time, …
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ …
We have certainly created man in the best of stature; …
وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا …
And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed. …
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ …
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained …
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِى ٱلنَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
And whoever comes with an evil deed - their faces will be overturned into the Fire, [and it will be said], "Are you recompensed except for what you used to do?"
فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
So today [i.e., the Day of Judgement] no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.
