سُوْرَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ
Surah Ghafir (40) — Ayah 40
مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ﴿40﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
"Whosoever does an evil deed, will not be requited except the like thereof; and whosoever does a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer (in the Oneness of Allâh), such will enter Paradise, where they will be provided therein (with all things in abundance) without limit.

40. 1. That is, the recompense for evil will be like the evil itself, not more, and the punishment will be according to it, which will be a reflection of justice and fairness.
40. 2. That is, those who will also be believers and will also be adherents of righteous deeds. Its clear meaning is that without righteous deeds, mere faith, or without faith, righteous deeds, have no value in the sight of Allah. For success with Allah, faith along with righteous deeds and righteous deeds along with faith are necessary.
40. 3. That is, blessings will be given without measure and reckoning, and there will be no fear of their ending.
