Sura 83: The Cheaters (Al-Mutaffifeen)

[83:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[83:1] Woe to the cheaters.

[83:2] Who demand full measure when receiving from the people.

[83:3] But when giving them the measures or weights, they cheat.

[83:4] Do they not know that they will be resurrected?

[83:5] On a tremendous day?

[83:6] That is the day when all people will stand before the Lord of the universe.

Numerically Structured Books

[83:7] Indeed, the book of the wicked is in Sijjeen.

[83:8] Do you know what Sijjeen is?

[83:9] A numerically structured book.

[83:10] Woe on that day to the rejectors.

[83:11] They do not believe in the Day of Judgment.

[83:12] None disbelieves therein except the transgressor, the sinful.

[83:13] When our revelations are recited to him, he says, "Tales from the past!"

[83:14] Indeed, their hearts have become shielded by their sins.

[83:15] Indeed, they will be isolated, on that day, from their Lord.

[83:16] Then they will be thrown into Hell.

[83:17] They will be told, "This is what you used to deny."

[83:18] Indeed, the book of the righteous will be in 'Elleyyeen.

[83:19] Do you know what 'Elleyyeen is?

[83:20] A numerically structured book.

[83:21] To be witnessed by those close to Me.

[83:22] The righteous have deserved bliss.

[83:23] On luxurious furnishings they watch.

[83:24] You recognize in their faces the joy of bliss.

[83:25] Their drinks will be spiced with nectar.

[83:26] Its spice is like musk. This is what the competitors should compete for.

[83:27] Mixed into it will be special flavors.

[83:28] From a spring that is reserved for those close to Me.

[83:29] The wicked used to laugh at those who believed.

[83:30] When they passed by them, they used to poke fun.

[83:31] When they got together with their people, they used to joke.

[83:32] Whenever they saw them, they said, "These people are far astray!

[83:33] "They have no such thing as (invisible) guards."

[83:34] Today, those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers.

[83:35] On luxurious furnishings they watch.

[83:36] Most assuredly, the disbelievers are requited for what they did.
