1.
|
|
Woe to the
cheaters!
|
|
2.
|
|
Who, when they
take the measure (of their dues) from men, take it
fully,
|
|
3.
|
|
And when they
measure out to others or weigh out for them, they
give less than is due.
|
|
4.
|
|
Do they not think
that they will be raised again,
|
|
5.
|
|
To a mighty day?
--
|
|
6.
|
|
The day when men
will stand before the Lord of the
worlds.
|
|
7.
|
|
Nay, surely the
record of the wicked is in the prison.
|
|
8.
|
|
And what will make
thee know what the prison is?
|
|
9.
|
|
It is a written
book.
|
|
10.
|
|
Woe on that day to
the rejectors!
|
|
11.
|
|
Who give the lie
to the day of Judgment.
|
|
12.
|
|
And none gives the
lie to it but every exceeder of limits, every
sinful one;
|
|
13.
|
|
When Our messages
are recited to him, he says : Stories of those
of yore!
|
|
14.
|
|
Nay, rather, what
they earned is rust upon their hearts.
|
|
15.
|
|
Nay, surely they
are that day debarred from their Lord.
|
|
16.
|
|
Then they will
surely enter the burning Fire.
|
|
17.
|
|
Then it will be
said : This is what you gave the lie
to.
|
|
18.
|
|
Nay, surely the
record of the righteous is in the highest
places.
|
|
19.
|
|
And what will make
thee know what the highest places are?
|
|
20.
|
|
It is a written
book.
|
|
21.
|
|
Those drawn near (to Allah)
witness it.
|
|
22.
|
|
Surely the righteous are in
bliss,
|
|
23.
|
|
On raised couches, gazing
--
|
|
24.
|
|
Thou recognizest in their
faces the brightness of bliss.
|
|
25.
|
|
They are given to drink of a
pure drink, sealed.
|
|
26.
|
|
The sealing of it is (with)
musk. And for that let the aspirers
aspire.
|
|
27.
|
|
And it is tempered with water
coming from above --
|
|
28.
|
|
A fountain from which drink
those drawn near (to Allah).
|
|
29.
|
|
Surely they who are guilty
used to laugh at those who believe.
|
|
30.
|
|
And when they passed by them,
they winked at one another,
|
|
31.
|
|
And when they returned to
their people, they returned exulting.
|
|
32.
|
|
And when they saw them, they
said : Surely these are in error --
|
|
33.
|
|
And they were not sent as
keepers over them.
|
|
34.
|
|
So this day those who believe
laugh at the disbelievers --
|
|
35.
|
|
On raised couches,
gazing.
|
|
36.
|
|
Surely the disbelievers are
rewarded as they did.
