Whoever disbelieves, upon him falls his disbelief. And whoever acts righteously-they are preparing for themselves.
Whoso disbelieveth must (then) bear the consequences of his disbelief, while those who do right make provision for themselves
He who misbelieves, upon him is his misbelief; but whoso does right, for themselves they are spreading couches
Unbelievers on whom shall be their unbelief; and they who have wrought righteousness, and prepared for themselves couches of repose
Whoever shall have been an unbeliever, on Him shall his unbelief be charged; and whoever shall have done that which is right, shall spread themselves couches of repose in paradise
