|---|
| 83:1 | | Woe to the defrauders |
| 83:2 | | Those who, when they take a measure from people, they take in full |
| 83:3 | | But when they measure or weigh to others, they cheat |
| 83:4 | | Do these not know that they will be resurrected |
| 83:5 | | For a Great Day |
| 83:6 | | The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds |
| 83:7 | | Not at all. The record of the wicked is in Sijjeen |
| 83:8 | | But how can you know what Sijjeen is |
| 83:9 | | A numerical book |
| 83:10 | | Woe on that Day to the deniers |
| 83:11 | | Those who deny the Day of Reckoning. |
| 83:12 | | But none denies it except the sinful aggressor |
| 83:13 | | When Our revelations are recited to him, he says, 'Legends of the ancients.' |
| 83:14 | | Not at all. Their hearts have become corroded by what they used to earn |
| 83:15 | | Not at all. On that Day, they will be screened from their Lord |
| 83:16 | | Then they will roast in Hell |
| 83:17 | | Then it will be said, 'This is what you used to deny.' |
| 83:18 | | No indeed; the record of the righteous is in Elliyyeen |
| 83:19 | | But how can you know what Elliyyoon is |
| 83:20 | | A numerical book |
| 83:21 | | Witnessed by those brought near |
| 83:22 | | Indeed, the righteous will be amid bliss |
| 83:23 | | On thrones, looking on |
| 83:24 | | You will recognize on their faces the radiance of bliss |
| 83:25 | | They will be given to drink a sealed wine |
| 83:26 | | Whose seal is musk—this is what competitors should compete for |
| 83:27 | | Its mixture is of Tasneem |
| 83:28 | | A spring from which those brought near drink |
| 83:29 | | Those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed |
| 83:30 | | And when they passed by them, they would wink at one another |
| 83:31 | | And when they went back to their families, they would go back exulting |
| 83:32 | | And if they saw them, they would say, 'These people are lost.' |
| 83:33 | | Yet they were not sent as guardians over them |
| 83:34 | | But on that Day, those who believed will laugh at the unbelievers |
| 83:35 | | On luxurious furnishings, looking on |
| 83:36 | | Have the unbelievers been repaid for what they used to do |
