Translation
Or
do those who commit evils think We will make them like those who have believed
and done righteous deeds - [make them] equal in their life and their death?
Evil is that which they judge.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Or
(am has the significance of the [rhetorical] hamza of denial) do those who have
perpetrated evil acts, [such as] disbelief and disobedience, suppose that We
shall treat them as those who believe and perform righteous deeds, equally
(sawā’an is the predicate) in their life and in their death? (mahyāhum
wa-mamātuhum, [this clause] constitutes the subject and a supplement; the
sentence [itself] is a substitution for the kāf [of ka’lladhīna, ‘as those’],
and both [suffixed] pronouns [-hum] refer to the disbelievers). The meaning is:
do they suppose that in the Hereafter We will assign them [a] good [fate] like
believers, [that they will enjoy] a life of plenty, one equal to their life in
this world, as when they said to the believers: ‘Surely if we were to be
resurrected, we will be given the same good things that you will be given!’
God, exalted be He, says, in accordance with His denial [implicit] in the
[rhetorical interrogative] hamza: How evil is that judgement which they make!
In other words, it will not be so, for in the Hereafter they will be
[suffering] in the chastisement, in contrast to their lives in this world; the
believers, on the other hand, will be [delighting] in the Reward in the
Hereafter because of their righteous deeds in this world, such as [their
observance of] prayers, [their] alms-giving, fasting and otherwise (the mā,
‘that … which’, relates to the verbal action, that is to say, ba’isa hukman
hukmuhum hādhā, ‘awful as a judgement is this judgement of theirs’).

And

recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
God created the heavens and, He created, the earth with the truth (bi’l-haqqi
is semantically connected to khalaqa, ‘He created’), so that He may indicate
His power and His Oneness, and so that every soul may be requited for what it
has earned, in the way of acts of disobedience or obedience, and therefore the
disbeliever cannot be equal to the believer, and they will not be wronged.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Have
you then seen, inform Me [about], him who has taken as his god his [own]
desire, [that is] whatever [new] stone he may desire after [having desired]
some other stone, considering this [new one] to be better, and whom God has led
astray knowingly, on His part, exalted be He, that is to say, knowing him to be
of those who follow misguidance before he was created, and set a seal upon his
hearing and his heart, so that he cannot hear guidance or understand it, and
laid a covering, a darkness, over his sight?, so that he cannot perceive
guidance (here one should understand as implied the second direct object of
[the verb] a-ra’ayta, ‘have you seen’, namely: a-yahtadī, ‘can he find
guidance?). So who will guide him after God?, that is to say, after His leading
him astray? In other words, he will not find guidance. Will you not then
remember?, [will you not then] be admonished? (tadhakkarūna: one of the two tā’
letters [of the original form tatadhakkarūna] has been assimilated with the
dhāl).
