Surah “Defrauding, The Defrauders, The Cheats, Cheating”

as rendered by Shakir — 36 verses

Woe to the defrauders
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
For a mighty day
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds
Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is
It is a written book
Woe on that day to the rejecters
Who give the lie to the day of judgment
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful on
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to
Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin
And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is
It is a written book
Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it
Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss
On thrones, they shall gaze
You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss
They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others)
The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim
A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah)
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error
And they were not sent to be keepers over them
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers
On thrones, they will look
Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did
