Ibrāhīm

لِيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ

51. “That Allah may requite everyone what he has earned, verily Allah is swift at reckoning.”

None of the people will remain without compensation. And no action in the world will be left without any reactions. Thus, the Divine punishment and reward have their origin in our own practices. The verse says:

“That Allah may requite everyone what he has earned…”

This means that Allah rewards or punishes everyone according to His own discretion for whatever he has done. At the end of the verse, the Qur’an implies that Allah is quick to discern and settle accounts. The verse continues to say:

“…verily Allah is swift at reckoning.”
