Quran 2:134 — Al-Baqara, verse 134
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
That community passed away. What they earned belongs to them, and what you earn belongs to you: you will not be answerable for their deeds.
تِلْكَ أُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ ۖ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُمْ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُسْأَلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
til'ka ummatun qad khalat lahā mā kasabat walakum mā kasabtum walā tus'alūna ʿammā kānū yaʿmalūna
