Translation: That Day will every soul be requited for what it
earned; no injustice will there be that Day, for Allah is
Swift 4380 in taking account.
Commentary:
4380 Swift in several senses: (1) the time of the present life or of the interval
before Judgement, i.e., before the restoration of true values, is so short as
compared to Eternity, that it may be counted as negligible: in the next verse the
Day is characterised as "(ever) drawing near"; (2) in spite of the great concourse of
souls to be judged, the process of Judgement will be almost instantaneous, "in the
twinkling of an eye" (16:77), because everything is already known to Allah; and yet
not the least injustice will be done.
