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

as rendered by Munir Mezyed — 36 verses

83:1
Woe betide the defrauders
83:2
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from the people, they demand it full,
83:3
And when they have to give by measure or weight (to the people), they give less than its due.
83:4
Do they not know that they will be resurrected (for reckoning)
83:5
On a Great Day?
83:6
The day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of all the beings.
83:7
No indeed! The record of deeds of the impious from among the defrauders is certainly in Sijjeen- (in Hades or the lower world).
83:8
And what will make you know exactly what Sijjeen is?
83:9
It is a written book.
83:10
Woe on that day betide those who are spiritually blind-
83:11
Who persist in denying the Day of Judgment.
83:12
None will venture to deny it except for every sinful transgressor.
83:13
Whenever the Qur'ānic Verses are recited to him, he says: “Myths of the ancient world."
83:14
No indeed! In fact, their hearts have been tarnished by that which they were inclined to commit!
83:15
No indeed! From (the Mercy of their) Lord, that day, they will surely be banned.
83:16
Then indeed, they will burn in the Hellfire.
83:17
And then be told: "This is the torment of the Fire that you were inclined to deny."
83:18
No indeed! The record of deeds of the Pure in Heart is in Illiyin (a highly exalted place in the seventh heaven).
83:19
And what will make you know exactly what Illiyin is?
83:20
It is a written book,
83:21
Witnessed by those who are brought near (to the Lord).
83:22
Indeed, those who are Pure in Heart will be in eternal bliss,
83:23
On adorned couches, gazing around.
83:24
You will perceive in their faces the glow of delight.
83:25
They will be given to drink of sealed, brilliant wine
83:26
Whose seal emanates from it the scent of musk. So let whoever is eager to taste this strive diligently.
83:27
With it will be given a mixture of Tasnîm:
83:28
A fountain from which those who nearest to Allâh will drink.
83:29
Surely the Ungodly Sinners used to laugh at the ones who live by Faith.
83:30
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another in derision.
83:31
When they returned to their families, they would return exultantly;
83:32
And when they saw them, they would say: "Indeed, theses are the ones who have gone astray.”
83:33
Yet We have not appointed them to watch over them.
83:34
But on that day, those who live by Faith will be laughing at the Ungodly Sinners.
83:35
(They are) on adorned couches, gazing around.
83:36
Surely those who are spiritually dead and blind are requited for what they used to do?
