إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍۢ ۖ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةًۭ يُضَٰعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًۭا
Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary

Surely God shall not wrong anyone so much as the weight of an atom the weight of the smallest ant by diminishing thereby a person’s good deeds or increase thereby his evil deeds; and if it the atom be a good deed in taku hasanatan ‘if it be a good deed’ is also read in taku hasanatun in which case the kāna construction is syntactically complete from a believer He will double it yudā‘ifuhā also read yuda‘‘ifuhā from ten times up to more than seven hundred times and give from Himself in addition to the doubling a great wage that no one can estimate.

(Lo! Allah wrongeth not even of the weight of an ant) He will not leave of the works of the unbeliever even the weight of an ant to benefit him in the Hereafter or to restore the wrongs committed against his antagonists; (and if there is a good deed) for the sincere believer after restoring the wrongs committed against his antagonists, (He will double it) from one to ten times (and will give (the doer) from His presence an immense reward) an abundant reward in Paradise.
