Quran 2:281 — Al-Baqara, verse 281
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Beware of a Day when you will be returned to God: every soul will be paid in full for what it has earned, and no one will be wronged.
وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
wa-ittaqū yawman tur'jaʿūna fīhi ilā l-lahi thumma tuwaffā kullu nafsin mā kasabat wahum lā yuẓ'lamūna
