Saheeh International

That is a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

تِلْكَ أُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْThat was a nation who has passed away.meaning, existed before you.لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُم مَّا كَسَبْتُمْ They shall receive the reward of what they earned, and you of what you earn.meaning, they bear their deeds while you bear yours. وَلَا تُسْأَلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَAnd you will not be asked of what they used to do.meaning, the fact that you are their relatives will not suffice, unless you imitate their good deeds.Further, do not be deceived by the fact that you are their descendants, unless you imitate them in obeying Allah's orders and following His Messengers who were sent as warners and bearers of good news.Indeed, whoever disbelieves in even one Prophet, will have disbelieved in all the Messengers, especially if one disbelieves in the master and Final Messenger from Allah, the Lord of the worlds, to all mankind and the Jinns. May Allah's peace and blessings be on Muhammad and the rest of Allah's Prophets
