Recompense

Assalam o alaekum

I am sharing an ayah that inspired me today. I seek Forgiveness, mercy, help and guidance from Allah سبحان و تعالى

اعوذ بالله من الشيطن الرجيم

_______


 Yaseen (يس) / 36:54

فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

So today no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.

فَالْيَوْمَ So this Day  -  لَا not  -  تُظْلَمُ will be wronged  -  نَفْسٌ a soul  -  شَيْئًا (in) anything  -  وَلَا and not  -  تُجْزَوْنَ you will be recompensed  -  إِلَّا except  -  مَا (for) what  -  كُنْتُمْ you used (to)  -  تَعْمَلُونَ do.  -

This ayah gives me hope as well as fear. It gives me hope because I am looking forward for a day when nobody will be wronged and everybody will be dealt with justice.

Last part of this ayah makes me fear because everybody will be recompensed based on what they used to do. So for example one person is striving for the highest level of jannah everyday and the other is not striving how can that other person expect same level in jannah. It also motivates me to strive hard as it is a promise from My Lord that everybody will be recompensed what they used to do.

Oh Allah help us attain the highest level in jannah. Amen.
