83 - The Defrauders | |
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. | |
| 1 | Woe to those that deal in fraud,- |
| 2 | Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, |
| 3 | But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due. |
| 4 | Do they not think that they will be raised up?- |
| 5 | On a Mighty Day, |
| 6 | A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds? |
| 7 | Nay! Surely the Record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjín. |
| 8 | And what will explain to thee what Sijjín is? |
| 9 | (There is) a Register (fully) inscribed. |
| 10 | Woe, that Day, to those that deny- |
| 11 | Those that deny the Day of Judgment. |
| 12 | And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds, the Sinner! |
| 13 | When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!" |
| 14 | By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do! |
| 15 | Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled. |
| 16 | Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell. |
| 17 | Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false! |
| 18 | Nay, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in Ìlliyín. |
| 19 | And what will explain to thee what Ìlliyün is? |
| 20 | (There is) a Register (fully) inscribed, |
| 21 | To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah). |
| 22 | Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss: |
| 23 | On raised couches will they command a sight (of all things): |
| 24 | Thou wilt recognize in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss. |
| 25 | Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed: |
| 26 | The seal thereof will be Musk: and for this let those aspire, who have aspirations: |
| 27 | With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasním: |
| 28 | A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah. |
| 29 | Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed, |
| 30 | And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery); |
| 31 | And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting; |
| 32 | And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!" |
| 33 | But they had not been sent as keepers over them! |
| 34 | But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers: |
| 35 | On raised couches they will command (a sight) (of all things). |
| 36 | Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did? |
