مَا عِندَكُمۡ یَنفَدُ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ بَاقࣲۗ وَلَنَجۡزِیَنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ صَبَرُوۤا۟ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ مَا كَانُوا۟ یَعۡمَلُونَ مَنۡ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحࣰا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنࣱ فَلَنُحۡیِیَنَّهُۥ حَیَوٰةࣰ طَیِّبَةࣰۖ وَلَنَجۡزِیَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ مَا كَانُوا۟ یَعۡمَلُونَ
The Surah speaks about Allah’s creative power. Everything in the universe points to Allah. There is coherence and balance in Allah’s creation.
جو کچھ تمہارے پاس ہے وہ ختم ہو جاتا ہے اور جو خدا کے پاس ہے وہ باقی ہے کہ (کبھی ختم نہیں ہوگا) اور جن لوگوں نے صبر کیا ہم اُن کو ان کے اعمال کا بہت اچھا بدلہ دیں گے جو شخص نیک اعمال کرے گا مرد ہو یا عورت وہ مومن بھی ہوگا تو ہم اس کو (دنیا میں) پاک (اور آرام کی) زندگی سے زندہ رکھیں گے اور (آخرت میں) اُن کے اعمال کا نہایت اچھا صلہ دیں گے
