| 83:1 | | Woe to the cheats; |
| 83:2 | | the ones who demand full measure from people, |
| 83:3 | | but when they measure and weigh for others, they give less. |
| 83:4 | | Don’t those double dealers believe they will be resurrected |
| 83:5 | | on a Grand Day? |
| 83:6 | | The Day when people will stand before the Lord of the worlds |
| 83:7 | | The written record of the wicked is in Sijjeen – |
| 83:8 | | and what can explain Sijjeen to you? |
| 83:9 | | It’s a written document. |
| 83:10 | | It will be too bad for the deniers that Day, |
| 83:11 | | who deny Judgment Day. |
| 83:12 | | Only the wicked transgressor denies it. |
| 83:13 | | When Our Scriptures are read to him, he says, “These are fables of the ancients!” |
| 83:14 | | Moreover, their hearts are coated with rust because of what they did. |
| 83:15 | | Never! On that Day, they will be shut out from seeing their Lord, |
| 83:16 | | then they will enter Hell. |
| 83:17 | | It will be said to them: “This is what you used to deny. |
| 83:18 | | The written record of the righteous is kept in ‘Illiyeen. |
| 83:19 | | What can explain ‘Illiyeen to you? |
| 83:20 | | It’s a written record, |
| 83:21 | | which is witnessed by those brought close to Allah. |
| 83:22 | | The righteous will be enjoying the delights of Paradise, |
| 83:23 | | sitting relaxed on sofas watching the tranquil scenery; |
| 83:24 | | you will see brightness on their faces in Paradise. |
| 83:25 | | They will be served sealed wine, pure |
| 83:26 | | musk its aftertaste – let the competitors compete for that – |
| 83:27 | | mixed with the water of Tasneem, |
| 83:28 | | a spring from which those brought close to Allah will drink |
| 83:29 | | The wicked used to laugh at the believers |
| 83:30 | | when they passed by them, they would wink at each other teasingly. |
| 83:31 | | Back with their families they made fun of them |
| 83:32 | | and when they saw them, they would say, “These are misguided!” |
| 83:33 | | They weren’t sent as their guardians. |
| 83:34 | | But today, the believers are laughing at the disbelievers, |
| 83:35 | | sitting on the sofas watching them in misery: |
| 83:36 | | “Have the disbelievers not been repaid for what they used to do? |
