Commentary
Or is it interrupted? The meaning of the question here is denial. What is meant is that if the reward were to be nullified, as the disbelievers say, then the conditions of those who do good and those who do evil, and those who are pious and those who commit immoral acts, would be equal before Allah. Whoever equates between them would be foolish and not wise.
