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