Transliteration:( Wattaqoo yawman turja'oona feehi ilal laahi summa tuwaffaa kullu nafsim maa kasabat wa hum laa yuzlamoon )
"And fear the day in which you shall be made to return to Allah [746]. Then, every soul will be compensated for what it earned. And they shall not be wronged [747]."
This verse reminds us of the inevitable Day of Return — the Day of Judgement, when every person will be brought before Allah for account.
The implication here is profound:
Just as you expect mercy and forgiveness from Allah for your shortcomings, you too should forgive your helpless debtor.
We are all debtors to Allah through our sins, flaws, and missed duties.
Therefore:
Forgive others, so that you may be forgiven.
This verse not only teaches accountability, but also promotes compassion and a deep sense of spiritual humility.
This part assures that on the Day of Judgement:
Every soul will be given exactly what it earned — no more, no less.
No one will be wronged in the slightest.
That means:
Good deeds will not be reduced,
Sins will not be exaggerated or unfairly increased.
📜 According to Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA), this was the last verse of the Qur’an to be revealed, after which the Holy Prophet ﷺ lived for either 21, 9, or 7 more days.
Its placement and message make it a universal closing reminder:
Prepare for the Hereafter with faith, justice, and sincerity — for Allah is Just, and every deed matters.
