The meanings of verses 30:43-45 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 30:43 says that:

So set your purpose,
So set your rationale,
So set your intention,
Set your own self and works,
Resolutely for the right religion
For the upright religion, the religion of Islam,
Make your religion and works sincere to Allah, and follow the true, straight religion
Before there comes the inevitable day from God, namely, the Day of Resurrection which is the Day of Judgment
On that day, Mankind shall be sundered; they will be split into separate groups after the Reckoning, destined, a party of them for eternal Paradise and a party in the eternal Fire and Hell.

Verse 30:44 says that:

Whoever disbelieves, the consequence of his disbelief shall be upon him, everyone is responsible for his/her choice.
That is, the evil consequences of his disbelief, which will be the eternal the Fire, i.e., the punishment of his disbelief are to dwell in the Fire forever.
And those who act righteously, they will be paving the way for the salvation of their own souls, preparing their places in the eternal Paradise,
-----------

Verse 30:45 says that:

That Allah may reward out of His bounty those who believe in Muhammad and in the Quran and do good works and perform acts of obedience between themselves and their Lord.
Indeed, Allah does not love the disbelievers, those who reject faith; He does not accept their religion.
In other words, He will punish them severely.
