Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants.” The statement cannot be changed with Me, and I do not turn back on My promise. I do not oppress My servants by decreasing their good deeds, nor by increasing their evil deeds. Rather, I requite them for whatever they have done.
