Yusuf Ali

1 Woe to those that deal in fraud, -

Yusuf Ali

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

Yusuf Ali

3 But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.

Yusuf Ali

4 Do they not think that they will be called to account? -

Yusuf Ali

5 On a Mighty Day,

Yusuf Ali

6 A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?

Yusuf Ali

7 Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.

Yusuf Ali

8 And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?

Yusuf Ali

9 (There is) a Register (fully) inscribed.

Yusuf Ali

10 Woe, that Day, to those that deny -

Yusuf Ali

11 Those that deny the Day of Judgment.

Yusuf Ali

12 And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!

Yusuf Ali

13 When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"

Yusuf Ali

14 By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!

Yusuf Ali

15 Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.

Yusuf Ali

16 Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell.

Yusuf Ali

17 Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!

Yusuf Ali

18 Nay, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin.

Yusuf Ali

19 And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is?

Yusuf Ali

20 (There is) a Register (fully) inscribed,

Yusuf Ali

21 To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah).

Yusuf Ali

22 Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:

Yusuf Ali

23 On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things):

Yusuf Ali

24 Thou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.

Yusuf Ali

25 Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:

Yusuf Ali

26 The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:

Yusuf Ali

27 With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim:

Yusuf Ali

28 A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah.

Yusuf Ali

29 Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,

Yusuf Ali

30 And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);

Yusuf Ali

31 And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

Yusuf Ali

32 And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"

Yusuf Ali

33 But they had not been sent as keepers over them!

Yusuf Ali

34 But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:

Yusuf Ali

35 On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).

Yusuf Ali

36 Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?
