83.Defrauding

  1. Woe to those who give short measure
  2. who demand of other people full measure for themselves
  3. but give less than they should when it is they who weigh or measure for others
  4. Do these people not realize that they will be raised up
  5. on a mighty Day
  6. a Day when everyone will stand before the Lord of the Worlds
  7. No indeed! The list of the wicked is in Sijjin––
  8. what will explain to you what Sijjin is?––
  9. a clearly numbered list
  10. Woe on that day to the deniers
  11. those who deny the Day of Judgement
  12. Only the evil aggressor denies it
  13. when Our revelations are recited to him, he says, ‘Ancient fables!’
  14. No indeed! Their hearts are encrusted with what they have done
  15. No indeed! On that Day they will be screened offfrom their Lord
  16. they will burn in Hell
  17. and they will be told, ‘This is what you called a lie.’
  18. No indeed! The list of the truly good is in 'Illiyyin––
  19. what will explain to you what 'Illiyyin is?––
  20. a clearly written list
  21. witnessed by those brought near
  22. The truly good will live in bliss
  23. seated on couches, gazing around
  24. You will recognize on their faces the radiance of bliss
  25. They will be served a sealed nectar
  26. its seal [perfumed with] a fragrant herb––let those who strive, strive for this––
  27. mixed with the water of Tasnim
  28. a spring from which those brought near will drink
  29. The wicked used to laugh at the believers––
  30. they would wink at one another when the believers passed by them
  31. joke about them when they got back to their own people
  32. and say, when they saw them, ‘These people are misguided,’
  33. though they were not sent to be their keepers
  34. so today the believers are laughing at the disbelievers
  35. as they sit on couches, gazing around
  36. Have the disbelievers [not] been repaid for their deeds
