Whosoever brings good (Islâmic Monotheism along with righteous deeds), he shall have the better thereof; and whosoever brings evil (polytheism along with evil deeds), then those who do evil deeds will only be requited for what they used to do.

84-1. That is, the reward for every good deed will be at least ten times as much, and for whomever Allah wills, He will grant even more, much more than that.

84-2. That is, the reward for good deeds will be multiplied, but the recompense for evil will be only equal to the evil committed. That is, in the reward for good deeds, Allah's grace and mercy will be manifested, and in the recompense for evil, His justice will be manifested.
