Verse123

(123) لَّيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلا أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ وَلاَ يَجِدْ لَهُ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلاَ نَصِيرًا

123. " It is not your vain desires, nor the vain desires of the people of the Book. Whoever does evil shall berecompensed for it, and, besides Allah, he will find for himself neither a guardian nor a helper."
Commentary:
Muslims were proud of the holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) as the seal of the prophets, and that they are the best Ummah (community). The people of the Book boasted of their background, too.

They said that they would not remain in Hell Fire but a few days. This verse was revealed to correct the imagination of both groups, and assigned ' the action of a person ' as a document.
Therefore, vain imaginations and baseless hopes must be avoided of. It says:
" It is not your vain desires, nor the vain desires of the people of the Book ..."
Islam is founded on realities, not on untruth, delusions or desires of individuals. (Untruth, originated from anyone and from any school, is condemned to destruction.)
However, Allah is just and His reward or retribution is based upon 'action' that individuals perform.
" and whoever does evil shall be recompensed for it, and, besides Allah , he will find for himself neither a guardian nor a helper ..."
