Chapter 83
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
83:1 Woe to those who cheat.
83:2 Those who when they are receiving any measure from the people, they take it in full.
83:3 And when they are the ones giving measure or weight, they give less than due.
83:4 Do these not assume that they will be resurrected?
83:5 To a great Day?
83:6 The Day the people will stand before the Lord of the worlds.
83:7 No, the record of the wicked is in 'Sijjeen.'
83:8 And do you know what is 'Sijjeen?'
83:9 A numbered record.
83:10 Woe on that Day to the deniers.
83:11 Those who denied the Day of Judgment.
83:12 And none will deny it, except every transgressor, sinner.
83:13 When Our revelations are recited to him, he says: "Tales of old!"
83:14 No, a covering has been placed on their hearts for what they have earned.
83:15 No, they will be veiled from their Lord on that Day.
83:16 Then they will be entered into Hell.
83:17 Then it will be said: "This is what you used to deny!"
83:18 No, the record of the pious is in 'Elliyeen.'
83:19 And do you know what is 'Elliyeen?'
83:20 A numbered record.
83:21 To be witnessed by those brought near.
83:22 The pious are in Paradise.
83:23 Upon raised couches, they are looking.
83:24 You will recognize in their faces the look of bliss.
83:25 They are given to drink from a pure sealed vial.
83:26 Its seal is musk, so in that let those who are in competition compete.
83:27 And its taste will be special.
83:28 From a spring which those who are brought near will drink.
83:29 Those who were criminals used to laugh at those who had believed.
83:30 And when they passed by them they used to wink to each other.
83:31 And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
83:32 And if they see them they say: "These are indeed misguided!"
83:33 But they were not sent over them as caretakers.
83:34 And today, those who had believed are laughing at the rejecters!
83:35 Upon raised couches, they are looking.
83:36 Have the rejecters been rewarded for what they used to do?
