Explanatory translation

4Allah is the sole Owner of the Day of Reckoning. On that day the believer and the disbeliever will not be treated alike, and people will also be asked how they used the blessings they were given. Do you know what the Day of Judgment is? The Day of Judgment is the day on which people’s accounts of their worldly life are settled. On that day no one is wronged. Everyone is held responsible for what he did in the world by his own free will. Allah’s reckoning takes place with unerring justice. The bribery, favoritism, or wrong verdicts that may be seen in the courts of this world have no place there. Everything is weighed as it should be, and a perfectly right judgment is given. On that day all people will be called to account for what they did, and so no good deed will go unrewarded and no evil deed unpunished. On that day voices will fall silent, heads will bow, and Allah will give the most just judgment.
