83:2
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
those who take full measure when they take from others,
83:3
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
but they give less when they measure or weigh for them.
83:4
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
Do they really not think that they will be resurrected
83:5
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
for a momentous Day,
83:6
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
a Day when people will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
83:7
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
No indeed! The record of the wicked is surely in Sijjīn.
83:8
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ

83:11
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
those who deny the Judgment Day!
83:12
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
None denies it except every sinful transgressor.
83:13
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “Ancient fables²!”
83:14
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
No indeed! Their hearts have been stained by what they used to commit³!
83:15
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
No indeed! On that Day they will be barred from seeing their Lord⁴.
83:16
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
They will then surely enter the Blazing Fire,
83:17
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
then they will be told, “This is what you used to deny.”
83:18
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
No indeed! The record of the righteous is certainly in ‘illiyyīn –
83:19
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
and how do you know what ‘illiyyūn is? –
83:20
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
It is a record inscribed,
83:21
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
witnessed by those who are close to Allah.
83:22
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
Indeed, the righteous will be in Bliss,
83:23
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
seated on the couches, gazing in wonder.
83:24
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
You will see on their faces the radiance of bliss.
83:25
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
They will be served to drink pure wine from a sealed container,
83:26
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
whose last sip is musk⁵ – let those who strive, strive for that –
83:27
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
and it will be mixed with water from the spring of Tasnīm⁶,
83:28
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
a spring from which those who are close to Allah will drink.
83:29
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers;
83:30
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
when they passed by them, they would wink at one another,
83:31
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
and when they went back to their people, they would return exulting.
83:32
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
When they saw the believers, they would say, “These people are truly misguided,”
83:33
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
although they were not sent as their keepers.
83:34
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
So Today⁷ the believers will laugh at the disbelievers,
83:35
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
while sitting on the couches, gazing around.
83:36
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
Have the disbelievers been rewarded except for what they used to do?
