Quran 41:46 — Fussilat, verse 46
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Whoever does good does it for his own soul and whoever does evil does it against his own soul: your Lord is never unjust to His creatures.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۗ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ
man ʿamila ṣāliḥan falinafsihi waman asāa faʿalayhā wamā rabbuka biẓallāmin lil'ʿabīdi
