هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Are you recompensed except for what you used to do? (al-Naml 27:90)
The return a person receives is connected to actions performed in worldly life. Recompense means that deeds are not lost simply because they are past; their consequences will be made manifest on the Last Day.
