Verse range: 37:39

Open in Qurani

Verily, you are going to taste the painful torment; and you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do. Then He makes an exception in the case of His sincerely believing servants. This is like the Ayat:

والعصر

إن اﻻنسن لفى خسر

إﻻ الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت

By the Time. Verily, man is in loss, Except those who believe and do righteous deeds... (103:1-3)

لقد خلقنا اﻻنسن فى أحسن تقويم

ثم رددنه أسفل سفلين

إﻻ الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت

Verily, We created man in the best stature. Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low. Save those who believe and do righteous deeds. (95:4-6)

وإن منكم إﻻ واردها كان على ربك حتما مقضيا

ثم ننجى الذين اتقوا ونذر الظلمين فيها جثيا

There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord, a decree which must be accomplished. Then We shall save those who have Taqwa. And We shall leave the wrongdoers therein to their knees. (19:71-72) and,

كل نفس بما كسبت رهينة

إﻻ أصحب اليمين

Every person is a pledge for what he has earned, except those on the right. (74:38-39) Allah says here:

إﻻ عباد الله المخلصين
