Degrees by Deeds
وَلِكُلࣲّ دَرَجَٰتࣱ مِّمَّا عَمِلُواْۖ وَلِيُوَفِّيَهُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ١٩
And for all there will be ranks from what they do, that He may pay them for their deeds; and they will not be wronged.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And for all there are degrees for what they have done.
Insight
