23:62 [al-Muminun, Mecca 74]
وَلَا
نُكَلِّفُ
نَفْسًا إِلَّا
وُسْعَهَا...
23:62 [Ali]. On no soul do We place a burden greater than it can bear:
...وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ...
before Us is a record which clearly shows the truth:
C2914. The record speaks clearly, and shows exactly what each soul has done and thought, and what is due to it in justice.
The worst will receive full justice. The best will receive far more than their due: 28:84.
...وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾
they will never be wronged.
Wala nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waladayna kitabun yantiqu bialhaqqi wahum la yuthlamoona |

23:63
[Ali]
بَلْ
قُلُوبُهُمْ
فِي غَمْرَةٍ
مِّنْ هَذَا...
63. But their hearts are in confused ignorance of this;
C2915. This is said of the Unbelievers who rejected Faith and rejoiced in the vanities of this world. In spite of the proclamation of Truth, they are doubtful of the future Life and Judgment.
...وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَالٌ مِن دُونِ ذَلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾
and there are, besides that, deeds of theirs, which they will (continue) to do --
C2916. In addition to their rejection of Faith, they have against them positive deeds of wrong-doing, from which, on account of their contempt of the Light from Allah, they will not desist until they are sharply pulled up for punishment: and then repentance will be too late!
Bal quloobuhum fee ghamratin min hatha walahum aAAmalun min dooni thalika hum laha AAamiloona |
