Verse124

(124) وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتَ مِن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا

124. " And whoever does deeds of righteousness, whether male or female, and be a believer, then these shall enter Heaven and they shall not be dealt with a jot unjustly. "
Commentary:
It seems that the Arabic word /naqir/ is taken from the sense 'pecking', and it is applied for the hole of a date-stone, as if it hasof been pecked.
In the previous verse the meaning was about 'whoever does evil', and here, in this verse, it is about whoever does deeds of righteousness, the reward or ritribution of both is based upon 'deed'.

Thus, the factor of entering into Heaven is 'faith and good deed' not the race or claims or desires (the which were mentioned in the previous verse).
All races, colours, nations and classes are equal for enjoying the grace of Allah.
" And whoever does deeds of righteousness ..."
Males and females are equal in reaching the spiritual virtues:
" ...whether male or female and be a believer,..."
The reward of a believing good-doer is Heaven; and the righteous deeds are valuable even though they are small.
"... then these shall enter Heaven and they shall not be dealt with a jot unjustly. "
