Surah “Defrauding, The Defrauders, The Cheats, Cheating”

as rendered by Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) — 36 verses

83:1
Woe to those that deal in fraud,
83:2
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure
83:3
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due
83:4
Do they not think that they will be called to account?
83:5
On a Mighty Day
83:6
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds
83:7
Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin
83:8
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is
83:9
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed
83:10
Woe, that Day, to those that deny
83:11
Those that deny the Day of Judgment
83:12
And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner
83:13
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
83:14
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do
83:15
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled
83:16
Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell
83:17
Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false
83:18
Day, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin
83:19
And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is
83:20
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed
83:21
To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah)
83:22
Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss
83:23
On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things)
83:24
Thou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss
83:25
Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed
83:26
The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations
83:27
With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim
83:28
A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah
83:29
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed
83:30
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery)
83:31
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting
83:32
And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
83:33
But they had not been sent as keepers over them
83:34
But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers
83:35
On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things)
83:36
Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did
