The Holy Quran 16:111 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

۞ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَـٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

Translation

(Remember) The day (of Qiyaamah) when every person shall argue for (the benefit of) his soul (without caring for others) and every soul shall be rewarded in full for its actions and they will not be oppressed (no one will be punished for a sin he/she did not commit nor deprived of any reward that he/she deserves).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
