That his endeavours will be judged,
And that his effort will soon be scrutinised?
and that his labouring shall surely be seen,
and that in time [the nature of] all his striving will be shown [to him in its true light],
And that his endeavour shall be presently observed.
And that his deeds will be seen,
And that his efforts will be witnessed.
and that (the result of) his striving shall soon be seen,
And that his deeds will be seen.
And that his effort will be seen.
and that he will soon be shown his endeavour,
and that his work is surely seen
And that his effort is going to be seen -
He will certainly see the result of his labor
And that his striving shall soon be seen-
Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yur<u>a</u>
and that [the fruit of] his striving shall soon be seen;
That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight:
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ
And that his action will be openly seen on the Day of Judgement.
And that his action will be openly seen on the Day of Judgement.
<p>وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَ‌ىٰ (and that his effort will soon be seen...53:40) In other words, outer actions of a person are not sufficient. Allah will take into account the real, inner motive and driving force behind them whether they were performed with the sincerity of purpose, or they were done with some ulterior motive. The Holy Prophet t is reported to have said:</p><p>اِنَّمَا الاَعمَال بِالنِّیَّاتِ</p><p>"Actions shall be judged only by the intentions."</p><p>That is, the outer aspect of actions is not sufficient. The inner aspect is also necessary. Actions must be performed purely for the good pleasure of Allah and in compliance with His command.</p>
