4. Sura Nisa

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:




إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا...   

4:40.  Allah is never unjust in the least degree: if there is any good (done),

He doubleth it,

... وَيُؤْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا ﴿٤٠﴾  

and giveth from His own presence a great reward.

C559. Any little good of our own comes from the purity of our heart. Its results in the world are doubled and multiplied by Allah's grace and mercy; but an even greater reward comes from Him: His good pleasure, which brings us nearer to Him


Asad’s Version:


4: 40 Verily, God does not wrong [anyone] by as much as atom's weight; and if there be a good deed, He will multiply it, and will bestow out of His grace a mighty reward.
