Quran Verses about Reckoning and the scale of deeds

لِّلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَإِن تُبۡدُواْ مَا فِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوۡ تُخۡفُوهُ يُحَاسِبۡكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُۖ فَيَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ ٢٨٤

Lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ, wa in tubdū mā fī anfusikum aw tukhfūhu yuḥāsibkum bihillāh, fayaghfiru limay yashāʾu wa yuʿadhdhibu may yashāʾ, wallāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.

To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allāh will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.

فَلَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ٦

Falanasʾalannal-ladhīna ursila ilayhim wa lanasʾalannal-mursalīn.

Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.

فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيۡهِم بِعِلۡمٖۖ وَمَا كُنَّا غَآئِبِينَ ٧

Falanaquṣṣanna ʿalayhim biʿilm, wa mā kunnā ghāʾibīn.

Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.

لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ٥١

Liyajziyallāhu kulla nafsim mā kasabat, innallāha sarīʿul-ḥisāb.

So that Allāh will recompense every soul for what it earned. Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ٩٢

Fawarabbika lanasʾalannahum ajmaʿīn.

So by your Lord, We will surely question them all

عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٣

ʿAmmā kānū yaʿmalūn.

About what they used to do.

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ ٢٤

Waqifūhum, innahum masʾūlūn.

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡۚ لَا ظُلۡمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ١٧

Al-yawma tujzā kullu nafsim bimā kasabat, lā ẓulmal-yawm, innallāha sarīʿul-ḥisāb.

This Day every soul will be recompensed for what it earned. No injustice today! Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.

إِنَّ إِلَيۡنَآ إِيَابَهُمۡ ٢٥

Inna ilaynā iyābahum.

Indeed, to Us is their return.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُم ٢٦

Thumma inna ʿalaynā ḥisābahum.

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

ثُمَّ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٨

Thumma latusʾalunna yawmaʾidhin ʿanin-naʿīm.

Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.¹

وَكُلَّ إِنسَٰنٍ أَلۡزَمۡنَٰهُ طَٰٓئِرَهُۥ فِي عُنُقِهِۦۖ وَنُخۡرِجُ لَهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ كِتَٰبٗا يَلۡقَىٰهُ مَنشُورًا ١٣

Wa kulla insānin alzamnāhu ṭāʾirahū fī ʿunuqih, wa nukhriju lahū yawmal-qiyāmati kitābay yalqāhu manshūrā.

And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck,¹ and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open.

ٱقۡرَأۡ كِتَٰبَكَ كَفَىٰ بِنَفۡسِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ عَلَيۡكَ حَسِيبٗا ١٤

Iqraʾ kitābaka kafā binafsikal-yawma ʿalayka ḥasībā.

[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant."

وَوُضِعَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ فَتَرَى ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ مُشۡفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَٰوَيۡلَتَنَا مَالِ هَٰذَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةٗ وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّآ أَحۡصَىٰهَاۚ وَوَجَدُواْ مَا عَمِلُواْ حَاضِرٗاۗ وَلَا يَظۡلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدٗا ٤٩

Wa wuḍiʿal-kitābu fataral-mujrimīna mushfiqīna mimmā fīhi wa yaqūlūna yāwaylatanā māli hādhal-kitābi lā yughādiru ṣaghīrataw wa lā kabīratan illā aḥṣāhā, wa wajadū mā ʿamilū ḥāḍirā, wa lā yaẓlimu rabbuka aḥadā.

And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَنَكۡتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُواْ وَءَاثَٰرَهُمۡۚ وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ فِيٓ إِمَامٖ مُّبِينٖ ١٢

Innā naḥnu nuḥyil-mawtā wa naktubu mā qaddamū wa āthārahum, wa kulla shayʾin aḥṣaynāhu fī imāmim mubīn.

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.

وَتَرَىٰ كُلَّ أُمَّةٖ جَاثِيَةٗۚ كُلُّ أُمَّةٖ تُدۡعَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ كِتَٰبِهَا ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٨

Wa tarā kulla ummatin jāthiyah, kullu ummatin tudʿā ilā kitābihal-yawma tujzawna mā kuntum taʿmalūn.

And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told], "Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.

هَٰذَا كِتَٰبُنَا يَنطِقُ عَلَيۡكُم بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَسۡتَنسِخُ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٩

Hādhā kitābunā yanṭiqu ʿalaykum bil-ḥaqq, innā kunnā nastansikhu mā kuntum taʿmalūn.

This, Our record, speaks about you in truth. Indeed, We were having transcribed¹ whatever you used to do."

إِذۡ يَتَلَقَّى ٱلۡمُتَلَقِّيَانِ عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٞ ١٧

Idh yatalaqqal-mutalaqqiyāni ʿanil-yamīni wa ʿanish-shimāli qaʿīd.

When the two receivers [i.e., recording angels] receive,¹ seated on the right and on the left.

مَّا يَلۡفِظُ مِن قَوۡلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيۡهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٞ ١٨

Mā yalfiẓu min qawlin illā ladayhi raqībun ʿatīd.

He [i.e., man] utters no word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].

وَكُلُّ شَيۡءٖ فَعَلُوهُ فِي ٱلزُّبُرِ ٥٢

Wa kullu shayʾin faʿalūhu fiz-zubur.

And everything they did is in written records.

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٖ وَكَبِيرٖ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ ٥٣

Wa kullu ṣaghīriw wa kabīrim mustaṭar.

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَحَٰفِظِينَ ١٠

Wa inna ʿalaykum laḥāfiẓīn.

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,¹

كِرَامٗا كَٰتِبِينَ ١١

Kirāman kātibīn.

Noble and recording;

يَعۡلَمُونَ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ١٢

Yaʿlamūna mā tafʿalūn.

They know whatever you do.

يَوۡمَ نَدۡعُواْ كُلَّ أُنَاسِۭ بِإِمَٰمِهِمۡۖ فَمَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَقۡرَءُونَ كِتَٰبَهُمۡ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُونَ فَتِيلٗا ٧١

Yawma nadʿū kulla unāsim biʾimāmihim, faman ūtiya kitābahū biyamīnihī fa ulāʾika yaqraʾūna kitābahum wa lā yuẓlamūna fatīlā.

[Mention, O Muḥammad], the Day We will call forth every people with their record [of deeds].¹ Then whoever is given his record in his right hand - those will read their records, and injustice will not be done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside the date seed].

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقۡرَءُواْ كِتَٰبِيَهۡ ١٩

Fa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū biyamīnihī fayaqūlu hāʾumuqraʾū kitābiyah.

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

إِنِّي ظَنَنتُ أَنِّي مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهۡ ٢٠

Innī ẓanantu annī mulāqin ḥisābiyah.

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ ٢١

So he will be in a pleasant life -

كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيٓـَٔۢا بِمَآ أَسۡلَفۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَيَّامِ ٱلۡخَالِيَةِ ٢٤

Kulū washrabū hanīʾam bimā aslaftum fil-ayyāmil-khāliyah.

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth¹ in the days past."

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي لَمۡ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهۡ ٢٥

Wa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū bishimālihī fayaqūlu yālaytanī lam ūta kitābiyah.

But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

وَلَمۡ أَدۡرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهۡ ٢٦

Wa lam adri mā ḥisābiyah.

And had not known what is my account.

يَٰلَيۡتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلۡقَاضِيَةَ ٢٧

Yālaytahā kānatil-qāḍiyah.

I wish it [i.e., my death] had been the decisive one.¹

مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنِّي مَالِيَهۡۜ ٢٨

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ٧

Fa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū biyamīnih.

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابٗا يَسِيرٗا ٨

Fasawfa yuḥāsabu ḥisābay yasīrā.

He will be judged with an easy account

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورٗا ٩

Wa yanqalibu ilā ahlihī masrūrā.

And return to his people in happiness.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ ١٠

Wa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū warāʾa ẓahrih.

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورٗا ١١

Fasawfa yadʿū thubūrā.

He will cry out for destruction

وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ١٢

Wa yaṣlā saʿīrā.

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

وَٱلۡوَزۡنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡحَقُّۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ٨

Wal-waznu yawmaʾidhinil-ḥaqq, faman thaqulat mawāzīnuhū fa ulāʾika humul-mufliḥūn.

And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful.

وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَظۡلِمُونَ ٩

Wa man khaffat mawāzīnuhū fa ulāʾikal-ladhīna khasirū anfusahum bimā kānū biʾāyātinā yaẓlimūn.

And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلِقَآئِهِۦ فَحَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَزۡنٗا ١٠٥

Ulāʾikal-ladhīna kafarū biʾāyāti rabbihim wa liqāʾihī faḥabiṭat aʿmāluhum falā nuqīmu lahum yawmal-qiyāmati waznā.

Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any weight [i.e., importance].

وَنَضَعُ ٱلۡمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلۡقِسۡطَ لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثۡقَالَ حَبَّةٖ مِّنۡ خَرۡدَلٍ أَتَيۡنَا بِهَاۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَٰسِبِينَ ٤٧

Wa naḍaʿul-mawāzīnal-qisṭa liyawmil-qiyāmati falā tuẓlamu nafsun shayʾā, wa in kāna mithqāla ḥabbatim min khardalin ataynā bihā, wa kafā binā ḥāsibīn.

And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed,¹ We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.

فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ١٠٢

Faman thaqulat mawāzīnuhū fa ulāʾika humul-mufliḥūn.

And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.

وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فِي جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ ١٠٣

Wa man khaffat mawāzīnuhū fa ulāʾikal-ladhīna khasirū anfusahum fī jahannama khālidūn.

But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٦

Fa ammā man thaqulat mawāzīnuh.

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],

فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ ٧

Fahuwa fī ʿīshatir rāḍiyah.

He will be in a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٨

Wa ammā man khaffat mawāzīnuh.

But as for one whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ ٩

Fa ummuhū hāwiyah.

His refuge¹ will be an abyss.²

يَوۡمَ تَشۡهَدُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَلۡسِنَتُهُمۡ وَأَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَأَرۡجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٤

Yawma tashhadu ʿalayhim alsinatuhum wa aydīhim wa arjuluhum bimā kānū yaʿmalūn.

On a Day when their tongues, their hands and their feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do.

ٱلۡيَوۡمَ نَخۡتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَتَشۡهَدُ أَرۡجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٦٥

Al-yawma nakhtimu ʿalā afwāhihim wa tukallimunā aydīhim wa tashhadu arjuluhum bimā kānū yaksibūn.

That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.

وَيَوۡمَ يُحۡشَرُ أَعۡدَآءُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ فَهُمۡ يُوزَعُونَ ١٩

Wa yawma yuḥsharu aʿdāʾullāhi ilan-nāri fahum yūzaʿūn.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day when the enemies of Allāh will be gathered to the Fire while they are [driven], assembled in rows,

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا مَا جَآءُوهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَمۡعُهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ وَجُلُودُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٠

Ḥattā idhā mā jāʾūhā shahida ʿalayhim samʿuhum wa abṣāruhum wa julūduhum bimā kānū yaʿmalūn.

Until, when they reach it, their hearing and their eyes and their skins will testify against them of what they used to do.

وَقَالُواْ لِجُلُودِهِمۡ لِمَ شَهِدتُّمۡ عَلَيۡنَاۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَنطَقَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنطَقَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٖۚ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٢١

Wa qālū lijulūdihim lima shahidttum ʿalaynā, qālū anṭaqanallāhul-ladhī anṭaqa kulla shayʾ, wa huwa khalaqakum awwala marratiw wa ilayhi turjaʿūn.

And they will say to their skins, "Why have you testified against us?" They will say, "We were made to speak by Allāh, who has made everything speak; and He created you the first time, and to Him you are returned.

وَمَا كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَتِرُونَ أَن يَشۡهَدَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ سَمۡعُكُمۡ وَلَآ أَبۡصَٰرُكُمۡ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن ظَنَنتُمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَعۡلَمُ كَثِيرٗا مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٢

Wa mā kuntum tastatirūna ay yashhada ʿalaykum samʿukum wa lā abṣārukum wa lā julūdukum wa lākin ẓanantum annallāha lā yaʿlamu kathīram mimmā taʿmalūn.

And you were not covering [i.e., protecting] yourselves,¹ lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allāh does not know much of what you do.

وَذَٰلِكُمۡ ظَنُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي ظَنَنتُم بِرَبِّكُمۡ أَرۡدَىٰكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٢٣

Wa dhālikum ẓannukumul-ladhī ẓanantum birabbikum ardākum fa aṣbaḥtum minal-khāsirīn.

And that was your assumption which you assumed about your Lord. It has brought you to ruin, and you have become among the losers."

وَٱتَّقُواْ يَوۡمٗا تُرۡجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٢٨١

Wattaqū yawman turjaʿūna fīhi ilallāh, thumma tuwaffā kullu nafsim mā kasabat wa hum lā yuẓlamūn.

And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allāh. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged [i.e., treated unjustly].

يَوۡمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ مُّحۡضَرٗا وَمَا عَمِلَتۡ مِن سُوٓءٖ تَوَدُّ لَوۡ أَنَّ بَيۡنَهَا وَبَيۡنَهُۥٓ أَمَدَۢا بَعِيدٗاۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسَهُۥۗ وَٱللَّهُ رَءُوفُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ ٣٠

Yawma tajidu kullu nafsim mā ʿamilat min khayrim muḥḍaraw wa mā ʿamilat min sūʾin tawaddu law anna baynahā wa baynahū amadam baʿīdā, wa yuḥadhdhirukumullāhu nafsah, wallāhu raʾūfum bil-ʿibād.

The Day every soul will find what it has done of good present [before it] and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great distance. And Allāh warns you of Himself, and Allāh is Kind to [His] servants."

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٖۖ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةٗ يُضَٰعِفۡهَا وَيُؤۡتِ مِن لَّدُنۡهُ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمٗا ٤٠

Innallāha lā yaẓlimu mithqāla dharrah, wa in taku ḥasanatay yuḍāʿifhā wa yuʾti mil ladunhu ajran ʿaẓīmā.

Indeed, Allāh does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.

مَن جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ عَشۡرُ أَمۡثَالِهَاۖ وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجۡزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثۡلَهَا وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ١٦٠

Man jāʾa bil-ḥasanati falahū ʿashru amthālihā, wa man jāʾa bis-sayyiʾati falā yujzā illā mithlahā wa hum lā yuẓlamūn.

Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof [to his credit], and whoever comes with an evil deed will not be recompensed except the like thereof; and they will not be wronged.¹

فَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيۡرٗا يَرَهُۥ ٧

Famay yaʿmal mithqāla dharratin khayray yarah.

So whoever does an atom's weight¹ of good will see it,

وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٖ شَرّٗا يَرَهُۥ ٨

Wa may yaʿmal mithqāla dharratin sharray yarah.

And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.
