(This day) which is the Day of Judgement (each soul) whether it is righteous or sinful (is requited that which it hath earned) of good or evil; (no wrong (is done) this day) none will have his good deeds decreased or his evil works increased. (Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning) when He takes to task; it is also said that this means: When He punishes, Allah is severe in His punishment.
