Q 30:44

مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُۥ ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَلِأَنفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ

Translations

Whoever disbelieves - upon him is [the consequence of] his disbelief. And whoever does righteousness - they are for themselves preparing,
Sahih International · EN
Celui qui aura mécru subira [les conséquences] de son infidélité. Et quiconque aura œuvré en bien... C'est pour eux-mêmes qu'ils préparent (leur avenir),
Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

Tafsir

Whoever disbelieves in Allah, the harm of his disbelief - which is permanent residence in the hellfire - will reach only himself. As for those who do good deeds seeking Allah’s pleasure through them, they are preparing for themselves entry into paradise and deriving enjoyment from whatever is within it, and they shall live in it forever.

Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))
So, set you your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert. On that Day men shall be divided (43)Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves (44)That He may reward those who believe and do righteous good deeds, out of His bounty. Verily, He likes not the disbelievers (45) The Command to follow the Straight Path before the Day of Resurrection Here Allah commands His servants to hasten to obedience to Him and to hasten to do good deeds. فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ الْقَيِّمِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۖ (So, set you your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert.) The Day of Resurrection, for when Allah wants it to happen, no one will be able to avert it. يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ (On that Day men shall be divided.) means, they will be separated, with one group in Paradise and another in Hell. Allah says: مَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِأَنْفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ - لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۚ (Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves. That He may reward those who believe. and do righteous good deeds, out of His bounty.) meaning that He may reward them from His bounty, in return for one good deed, he will get the reward for ten, up to seven hundred like it, as much as Allah wills. إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ (Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.) yet He is still just with them and does not oppress them.
