Surah 83

1 Woe to the defrauders:

2 Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,

3 But if they measure to them or weight for them, they cause them loss.

4 Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again

5 Unto an Awful Day,

6 The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?

7 No, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -

8 Ah! what will convey to you what Sijjin is! -

9 A written record.

10 Woe to the repudiators on that day!

11 Those who deny the Day of Judgment

12 Which none denies save each criminal transgressor,

13 Who, when you readest to him Our revelations, said: (Mere) fables of the men of old.

14 No, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.

15 No, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.

16 Then see! they verily will burn in hell,

17 And it will be said (to them): This is that which you used to deny.

18 No, but the record of the righteous is in ‘Illiyin -

19 Ah, what will convey to you what ‘Illiyin is! -

20 A written record,

21 Attested by those who are brought near (to their Lord).

22 See! the righteous verily are in delight,

23 On couches, gazing,

24 You will know in their faces the radiance of delight.

25 They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,

26 Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -

27 And mixed with water of Tasnim,

28 A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.

29 See! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,

30 And wink one to another when they passed them;

31 And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;

32 And when they saw them they said: See! these have gone astray.

33 Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

34 This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,

35 On high couches, gazing.

36 Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
