لَّيْسَ
بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَآ أَمَانِىِّ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوٓءًا يُجْزَ بِهِۦ وَلَا يَجِدْ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا123. وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ
ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا124. |

123. It is not in accordance with your wishes, nor in accordance with the wishes of the People of the Scripture. Whoever works evil will pay for it, and will not find for himself, besides God, any protector or savior. 124.
But whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, and is a
believer—those will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged a whit. |
Yujza – (will have the recompense), this word has been derived from the word Jazaa, which means ‘reward, retribution’. The word ‘retaliation’ is used for both purposes i.e. Reward for them who did good works and punishment for the wrong-doers.
Naqiiraa – (a speck, an atom), as per Arabic language naqiira is a deep line in the Centre of the Stone of Date fruit. Due to this relation, here it signifies towards a worthless thing.
It was mentioned in the previous lesson that disbelievers and infidels turn away their faces from God because they have been misled by the Devil, they name the idols like females and sacrifice their religious offerings in their names. Those people will be cast into the Hell and then they will never be able to come out from the Fire. It was also described that the Believers, who will do good works, the room for them will be made in the luxuriant Gardens of the Paradise. They will dwell therein very comfortably forever.
Listening to this type of verses regarding reward and punishment, the Jews and the Christians used to say, “We do not have any concern with it because we are especial bondmen of God. The anguish cannot touch us”. The Jews used to say, “We are (let’s flee to God) sons of God. How can we be punished?” At the other hand the Christians have belief, “Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him) was hanged and he sacrificed his life as retaliation of our sins. Therefore, we would not be captured against our sins. No torment will touch us even if we do any kind of evil/sin”. All of them have been answered in these verses.
It has been directed that neither it will be in accordance with the boasting of the Jews and nor it will be according to what someone else says. It is the principle that the person, who is evil-doer, will be punished for his/her sins and evils, and nobody can be his/her protecting friend or helper to save from the grip of God. And who will do good works, will have pure belief, that person, whether is a male or a female, such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged a speck, and there will be no deficiency in his/her reward even equal to a seed of sesame (til).
