who denied and turned away.

Allathee yu/tee malahu yatazakka

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and with him there is none for which recompense is expected to be given for divine blessing,

Wama li-ahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

but looking for the Countenance of his Lord, The Lofty,

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi al-aAAla

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

he will be well-pleased.
