Surah 83

Woe to Al-Mutaffifûn (those who give less in measure and weight).

Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure,

And when they have to give by measure or weight to (other) men, give less than due.

Do they not think that they will be resurrected (for reckoning),

On a Great Day?

The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?

Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjâr (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, evil-doers and the wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjîn.

And what will make you know what Sijjîn is?

A Register inscribed.

Woe, that Day, to those who deny.

Those who deny the Day of Recompense.

And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allâh) the sinner!

When Our Verses (of the Qur’ân) are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!"

Nay! But on their hearts is the Rân (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.[1]

Nay! Surely they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.

Then, verily, they will indeed enter (and taste) the burning flame of Hell.

Then, it will be said to them: "This is what you used to deny!"

Nay! Verily, the Record (writing of the deeds) of Al-Abrâr (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) is (preserved) in ‘Illiyyûn

And what will make you know what ‘Illiyyûn is?

A Register inscribed,
