Transliteration:( Wa wuffiyat kullu nafsim maa 'amilat wa Huwa a'lamu bimaa yaf'aloon (section 7) )
"And every soul shall be paid [170] in full what it did. And He knows best what you do [171]."
No one's piety will be rewarded less than it deserves, and evil will not be punished beyond what is due.
This verse clearly shows that:
The forgiveness of sins remains valid, as it occurs through Allah's mercy.
The increase in reward for good deeds is also valid, as it is a favour from Allah.
Thus, this verse emphasizes justice without contradicting mercy or divine favour.
The phrase indicates that Allah's testimony or judgement is not due to any need for information—He already knows everything.
He is All-Knowing and Fully Aware of every action, intention, and hidden deed.
