Indeed, the people most mindful of God are best in their deeds.
عَمَلًا in deeds
This noun is an accusative of specification: it pins down in WHAT respect they are 'best', answering 'best in terms of what?', namely deeds. Arabic uses this accusative slot to narrow a vague superlative, the way English adds 'in deeds'. Its indefinite ending keeps it general.
وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا
And whoever does that will incur sins; the punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide in it abased, except for whoever repented and believed and did a righteous deed.
عَمَلًا a deed
An indefinite noun 'a deed' (no al- 'the'), the object of 'did' in the accusative (object) form - it echoes the root of its own verb, a common Arabic emphasis where the action and its object share the root. Its indefinite shape leaves it general, soon qualified by 'righteous'. As the thing done, it is what the verb acts upon.
