The Holy Quran 40:40 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Translation

"Whoever commits a sin (evil) shall be punished only for it (without the punishment being increased). (On the other hand), Whichever male or female carries out (does) a good deed as a Mu'min shall enter Jannah, where they will be sustained (provided for) without restriction (even though their deeds may have been limited)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Salvation depends on righteous deeds: here a brief account is given of how life in the Hereafter can be set right. It has become known that there faith and righteous deeds are required. No one asks there about wealth and possessions. And it has also become clear that the mercy of Allah prevails over His wrath.
