83:1
Woe to the defrauders, who use short measures,
83:2
who, when they measure [a commodity bought] from the people, take the full measure,
83:3
but diminish when they measure or weigh for them.
83:4
Do they not know that they will be resurrected
83:5
on a tremendous day,
83:6
a day when mankind will stand before the Lord of all the worlds?
83:7
Indeed, the record of the vicious is in Sijjeen.
83:8
And what will show you what is Sijjeen?
83:9
It is a written record.
83:10
Woe to the deniers on that day,
83:11
who deny the Day of Retribution;
83:12
and none denies it except every sinful transgressor.
83:13
When Our signs are recited to him, he says, ‘Myths of the ancients!’
83:14
No, that is not the case! Rather, their hearts have been sullied by what they have been earning.
83:15
Indeed, they will be alienated from their Lord on that day.
83:16
Afterward they will enter hell,
83:17
then told, ‘This is what you used to deny!’
83:18
Indeed, the record of the pious is in Illeeyun.
83:19
And what will show you what is Illeeyun?
83:20
It is a written record,
83:21
witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].
83:22
The pious shall be amid bliss,
83:23
observing, [as they recline] on couches.
83:24
You will perceive in their faces the freshness of bliss.
83:25
They will be served with a sealed pure wine,
83:26
whose seal is musk—for such let the viers vie—
83:27
and whose seasoning is from Tasneem,
83:28
a spring where those brought near [to Allah] drink.
83:29
Indeed the guilty used to laugh at the faithful,
83:30
and when they passed them by they would wink at each other,
83:31
and when they returned to their folks they would return amused,
83:32
and when they saw them they would say, ‘Indeed those are the astray!’
83:33
Though they were not sent to watch over them.
83:34
So today the faithful will laugh at the faithless,
83:35
observing from their couches:
83:36
Have the faithless been requited for what they used to do?
