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

as rendered by Mohammad Shafi — 36 verses

83:1
Woe to those who defraud
83:2
Those who, when they take anything by measure from others, take it in full
83:3
And who, when they measure or weigh things to give to others, give fraudulently less
83:4
Do they not think they will be raised to life again, after death
83:5
For a great Day
83:6
The Day when mankind shall stand before the Lord of the worlds
83:7
No indeed! [Mankind shall not be left unjudged.] The record of the the wicked persons is in Sijjeen.
83:8
And what do you understand what Sijjeen is
83:9
It is a written record!
83:10
Woe that Day to those who had denied the Truth
83:11
Those who had denied the Day of Judgement
83:12
None but those transgressing with criminal intent deny it
83:13
When Our Verses are recited to them, they say, "Fables of the ancient peoples!"
83:14
No! On the contrary, what they have been earning with their own deeds has made their minds dirty
83:15
No indeed! On that day they shall certainly be shut out from the presence of their Lord
83:16
And then they shall indeed suffer the blazing Fire of Hell
83:17
And then they will be told, "This is what you had been denying!"
83:18
But the record of the righteous peope is in Illiyyeen
83:19
And what do you understand what Illiyyoon is
83:20
It is a written record
83:21
Those closest to Allah are witnesses thereto
83:22
The righteous people will indeed be in bliss
83:23
[From their seats] on couches, they will look around them
83:24
In their faces you shall recognise the glow of bliss
83:25
They will be given to drink of sealed nectar
83:26
Sealed with [fragrance of] musk. And for this let the aspirants aspire
83:27
And it will be a blend with [the waters of] Tasneem
83:28
A fountain from which those who are closest to Allah will drink
83:29
Indeed those who do sinful acts laugh at the believers
83:30
And they [mischievously] wink at one another as they pass by them
83:31
And when they go back to people of their own kind, they go back cracking jokes about them (believers)
83:32
And when they see them [their own people], they tell them, "These people [believers] have indeed gone astray!"
83:33
And they [non-believers] are not sent as guardians over them [believers]
83:34
This Day [of Judgement] then the believers will laugh at those that had been suppressing the Truth
83:35
As they [believers] look around them [seated comfortably] upon their couches [and ruminate,
83:36
"Are not the suppressors of Truth duly requited for what they used to do?"
