Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter - We increase for him in his harvest [i.e., reward]. And whoever desires the harvest [i.e., benefits] of this world - We give him thereof, but there is not for him in the Hereafter any share.

எவர் மறுமையின் விளைச்சலை விரும்புகிறாரோ அவருடைய விளைச்சலை நாம் அவருக்காக அதிகப்படுத்துவோம்; எவர் இவ்வுலகின் விளைச்சலை மட்டும் விரும்புகிறாரோ, அவருக்கு நாம் அதிலிருந்து ஓரளவு கொடுக்கிறோம் - எனினும் அவருக்கு மறுமையில் யாதொரு பங்கும் இல்லை.

කවරෙකු මතු ලොවෙහි ඵලදාව අපේක්ෂා කරමින් සිටියේ ද අපි ඔහුගේ ඵලදාවෙහි වර්ධනය ඇති කරමු. තවද කවරෙකු මෙලොව ඵලදාව අපේක්ෂා කරමින් සිටියේ ද අපි ඔහුට එයින් පිරිනමන්නෙමු. එහෙත් මතු ලොවෙහි ඔහුට කිසිදු කොටසක් නැත.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
جس کا اراده آخرت کی کھیتی کا ہو ہم اسے اس کی کھیتی میں ترقی دیں گے اور جو دنیا کی کھیتی کی طلب رکھتا ہو ہم اسے اس میں سے ہی کچھ دے دیں گے، ایسے شخص کا آخرت میں کوئی حصہ نہیں.

来世の耕作を願う者にはわれはその収穫を増し,また現世の耕作を願う者には,その望むだけを与えよう。だがその者には,来世での分け前はないのである。

谁欲得后世的收获,我就加增谁的收获;谁欲得今世的收获,我就给谁一点今世的收获;他在后世,没有份儿。

Tafsir of 42:20

The Provision of Allah in this World and the Hereafter Here Allah speaks of His kindness towards His creation, in that He provides for every last one of them and does not forget anyone. When it comes to His provision, the righteous and the sinner are alike. Allah says: وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِي الاٌّرْضِ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا كُلٌّ فِى كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ (And no moving creature is there on the earth but its provision is due from Allah. And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit. All is in a Clear Book.) (11:6) And there are many similar Ayat. يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ (He gives provisions to whom He wills.) means, He gives generously to whomsoever He wills. وَهُوَ الْقَوِىُّ الْعَزِيزُ (And He is the All-Strong, the Almighty.) means, there is nothing that can overpower Him. Then Allah says: مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الاٌّخِرَةِ (Whosoever desires the reward of the Hereafter,) means, whoever does things for the sake of the Hereafter, نَزِدْ لَهُ فِى حَرْثِهِ (We give him increase in his reward, ) meaning, `We will give him strength and help him to do what he wants to do, and We will increase it for him.…
