|---|
| 83:1 | | Woe to the cheaters |
| 83:2 | | Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men, take it fully |
| 83:3 | | And when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they give less than is due |
| 83:4 | | Do they not think that they will be raised again |
| 83:5 | | To a mighty day? - |
| 83:6 | | The day when men will stand before the Lord of the worlds |
| 83:7 | | Nay, surely the record of the wicked is in the prison |
| 83:8 | | And what will make thee know what the prison is |
| 83:9 | | It is a written book |
| 83:10 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
| 83:11 | | Who give the lie to the day of Judgment |
| 83:12 | | And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, every sinful one |
| 83:13 | | When Our messages are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore |
| 83:14 | | Nay, rather, what they earned is rust upon their hearts |
| 83:15 | | Nay, surely they are that day debarred form their Lord |
| 83:16 | | Then they will surely enter the burning Fire |
| 83:17 | | Then it will be said: This is what you gave the lie to |
| 83:18 | | Nay, surely the record of the righteous is in the highest places |
| 83:19 | | And what will make thee know what the highest places are |
| 83:20 | | It is a written book |
| 83:21 | | Those drawn near (to Allah) witness it |
| 83:22 | | Surely the righteous are in bliss |
| 83:23 | | On raised couches, gazing - |
| 83:24 | | Thou recognizest in their faces the brightness of bliss |
| 83:25 | | They are given to drink of a pure drink, sealed |
| 83:26 | | The sealing of it is (with) musk. And for that let the aspirers aspire |
| 83:27 | | And it is tempered with water coming from above - |
| 83:28 | | A fountain from which drink those drawn near (to Allah) |
| 83:29 | | Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe |
| 83:30 | | And when they passed by them, they winked at one another |
| 83:31 | | And when they returned to their people, they returned exulting |
| 83:32 | | And when they saw them, they said: Surely these are in error - |
| 83:33 | | And they were not sent as keepers over them |
| 83:34 | | So this day those who believe laugh at the disbelievers - |
| 83:35 | | On raised couches, gazing |
| 83:36 | | Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did |
