( والذين كذبوا بآياتنا ولقاء الآخرة ) أي : ولقاء الدار الآخرة التي هي موعد الثواب والعقاب ، ( حبطت أعمالهم ) بطلت وصارت كأن لم تكن ، ( هل يجزون ) في العقبى ( إلا ما كانوا ) أي إلا جزاء ما كانوا ( يعملون ) في الدنيا .
Those who rejected the signs of Allah proving the truth of the messengers, and denied that they would meet with Allah on the Day of Judgement, their good actions will come to nothing, because they were not based on faith; and they will be repaid for their disbelief in Allah and for associating partners with Allah – the repayment for which is living eternally in the fire of Hell.
