Al-Jalalayn Commentary

Whoever acts righteously it is for the benefit of his own soul that he acts so and whoever does evil it is to the detriment thereof that he has done evil; then to your Lord you will be returned with your Lord you shall end up whereupon He will requite the one of righteous deeds and the evildoer.

(Whoso doeth right) sincerely in his capacity as a believer, (it is for his soul) the reward of that, (and whoso doeth wrong) and whosoever ascribes partners to Allah, (it is against it) the punishment of this is against his own soul. (And afterward unto your Lord ye will be brought back) after you die and He will requite you each according to his works.
