Its root in the classical dictionaries
قوله تعالى: ﴿لا تجزي نفس عن نفس شيئا﴾ [البقرة: 48] أي لا تغني ولا تقضي ولا تنوب، كله بمعنى. وفي الحديث: "يجزيك ولا يجزي أحدا" "ويجزيك من هذا الأمر الأقل أن تقضي وتنوب".
الجيم والزاء والياء: قيام الشيء مقام غيره ومكافأته إياه. يقال جزيت فلانا أجزيه جزاء، وجازيته مجازاة. وهذا رجل جازيك من رجل،
O mankind! do your duty
To your Lord, and fear
(The coming of) a Day
When no father can avail
Aught for his son, nor
A son avail aught
For his father.
Verily, the promise of God
Is true: let not then
This present life deceive you,
Nor let the Chief Deceiver
Deceive you about God.
That God may reward
The men of Truth for
Their Truth, and punish
The Hypocrites if that be
His Will, or turn to them
In Mercy: for God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
That was the Requital
We gave them because
They ungratefully rejected Faith:
And never do We give
(Such) requital except to such
As are ungrateful rejecters.
Those who had been despised
Will say to the arrogant ones:
"Nay! it was a plot
(Of yours) by day and by night:
Behold! ye (constantly) ordered us
To be ungrateful to God
And to attribute equals to Him!
They will declare (their) repentance
When they see the Penalty:
We shall put yokes
On the necks of the Unbelievers:
It would only be a requital
For their (ill) Deeds.
But those who reject (God)—
For them will be
The Fire of Hell:
No term shall be determined
For them, so they should die,
Nor shall its Penalty
Be lightened for them.
Thus do We reward
Every ungrateful one!
"He that works evil
Will not be requited
But by the like thereof:
And he that works
A righteous deed—whether
Man or woman—and is
A Believer—such will enter
The Garden (of Bliss): therein
Will they have abundance
Without measure.
Tell those who believe,
To forgive those who
Do not look forward
To the Days of God:
It is for Him to recompense
(For good or ill) each People
According to what
They have earned.
God created the heavens
And the earth for
Just ends, and in order
That each soul may find
The recompense of what
It has earned, and none
Of them be wronged.
