The Holy Quran 14:51 — Surah Ibrahim

Arabic text

لِيَجْزِىَ ٱللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ

Translation

(They will present themselves before Allaah) So that Allaah may repay every soul for what (good or evil) it had earned. Indeed Allaah is swift in reckoning.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The meaning of “swift in reckoning”: that is, do not regard as distant that whose coming is absolutely certain. As Allah the Exalted said: اِقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ “Their reckoning has drawn near to people, while they turn away in heedlessness” (Surah Al-Anbya, ruku' 1).
