44

مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُۥ ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحًۭا فَلِأَنفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ

မည်သူမဆို သွေဖည်ငြင်းပယ်ခဲ့မူ ၎င်း၏သွေဖည်မှုသည် ၎င်း၏အပေါ်၌သာ ကျရောက်ပေမည်။ ထိုနည်းတူစွာ မည်သူမဆို ကောင်းမြတ်သော အကျင့်သီလကို ဆောက်တည်ခဲ့မူ ၎င်းတို့သည် မိမိတို့အကျိုးငှာ စီမံဆောင်ရွက်နေကြခြင်းသာ ဖြစ်သည်။

The Command to follow the Straight Path before the Day of Resurrection

Here Allah commands His servants to hasten to obedience to Him and to hasten to do good deeds.

فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينَ الْقِيِّمِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لاَّ مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ

(So, set you your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert.) The Day of Resurrection, for when Allah wants it to happen, no one will be able to avert it.

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ

(On that Day men shall be divided.) means, they will be separated, with one group in Paradise and another in Hell. Allah says:

مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـلِحاً فَلاًّنفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ لِيَجْزِىَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ مِن فَضْلِهِ

(Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves. That He may reward those who believe. and do righteous good deeds, out of His bounty.) meaning that He may reward them from His bounty, in return for one good deed, he will get the reward for ten, up to seven hundred like it, as much as Allah wills.

إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْكَـفِرِينَ

(Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.) yet He is still just with them and does not oppress them.
