The Holy Quran 45:15 — Surah Al-Jathiyah

Arabic text

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَنْ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ

Translation

Whoever does a good deed does so for his own benefit, and whoever commits a sin does so to his own detriment (because only he will suffer the punishment for his sins). You will all be returned to your Rabb shortly (and He will reward or punish you accordingly).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, the benefit of a good deed reaches the one who does it. What need does Allah have of it? And the one who does evil is sowing a bad seed to his own detriment. The evil of one does not fall upon another. In short, let everyone take care of his own gain and loss.
