Q 16:111
۞ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَـٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
Traductions
(Rappelle-toi) le jour où chaque âme viendra, plaidant pour elle-même, et chaque âme sera pleinement rétribuée pour ce qu'elle aura œuvré sans qu'ils subissent la moindre injustice.On the Day when every soul will come disputing for itself, and every soul will be fully compensated for what it did, and they will not be wronged.Tafsir
Ô Messager, rappelle-toi du jour où chaque être humain viendra plaider sa cause et où la situation sera tellement grave que personne ne pensera à plaider pour autrui mais seulement pour lui-même. Chaque âme aura sa pleine rétribution pour le bien qu’elle aura accompli ou le mal qu’elle aura commis et elle ne sera nullement lésée par le retranchement de ses bonnes œuvres ou l’ajout de mauvaises œuvres.
Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))
Then, verily, your Lord for those who emigrated after they were put to trials and then performed Jihad, and were patient, - after this, your Lord is indeed Forgiving, Most Merciful (110)(Remember) the Day when every person will come pleading for himself, and every one will be paid in full for what he did, and they will not be dealt with unjustly (111)
The One who is forced to renounce Islam will be forgiven if He does Righteous Deeds afterwards
This refers to another group of people who were oppressed in Makkah and whose position with their own people was weak, so they went along with them when they were tried by them. Then they managed to escape by emigrating, leaving their homeland, families and wealth behind, seeking the pleasure and forgiveness of Allah. They joined the believers and fought with them against the disbelievers, bearing hardship with patience. Allah tells them that after this, meaning after their giving in when put to the test, He will forgive them and show mercy to them when they are resurrected.
يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ
((Remember) the Day when every person will come pleading) meaning making a case in his own defence.
عَن نَّفْسِهَا
(for himself.) means, no one else will plead on his behalf; not his father, not his son, nor his brother, nor his wife.
وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ
(and every one will be paid in full for what he did,) meaning whatever he did, good or evil.
وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
(and they will not be dealt with unjustly.) meaning there will be no decrease in the reward for good, and no increase in the punishment for evil. They will not be dealt with unjustly in the slightest way.
