The Holy Quran 45:21 — Surah Al-Jathiyah

Arabic text

أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَرَحُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ سَوَآءً مَّحْيَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْ ۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

Translation

Do those (Kuffaar) who commit sins think that We will treat them like those who have Imaan and who do good deeds, making their lives and deaths equal? (They are wrong!) Evil indeed is the decision (claim) they take. (They will find out when they die and on the Day of Qiyaamah that their plight will be a pitiful one indeed, whereas the Mu'mineen will enjoy bliss and comfort.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The Disbeliever and the Believer Cannot Be Equal: that is, can any sensible person, looking at the workings of the wisdom of Almighty Allah, suppose that Almighty Allah will treat a wicked man and a righteous man alike and make their end the same? Never! They cannot be equal either in this life or after death.
