• 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. Nay! 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. Nay, 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 Allah).

  • 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 Allah.

  • 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?
