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

as rendered by The Study Quran — 36 verses

Woe unto the defrauders
who, when they take measure from people, demand [it] in full
and when they measure for them or weigh for them, they stint
Do they not think that they will be resurrecte
unto a tremendous day
a day when mankind shall stand before the Lord of the worlds
Nay! Truly the book of the profligate is in Sijjin
And what will apprise thee of Sijjin
A book inscribed
Woe that Day to the deniers
who deny the Day of Judgment
which none deny save every sinful transgressor
When Our signs are recited unto him, he says, “Fables of those of old!
Nay! But that which they used to earn has covered their hearts with rust
Nay! Surely on that Day they will be veiled from their Lord
Then they will burn in Hellfire
Then it is said unto them, “This is that which you used to deny.
Nay, truly the book of the pious is in ?Illiyyun
And what will apprise thee of ?Illiyyun
A book inscribed
witnessed by those brought nigh
Truly the pious shall be in bliss
upon couches, gazing
Thou dost recognize in their faces the splendor of bliss
They are given to drink of pure wine sealed
whose seal is musk—so for that let the strivers strive
and whose mixture is of Tasnim
a spring whence drink those brought nigh
Truly those who sinned did laugh at those who believed
When they passed them, they would wink at one another
And when they returned to their people, they would return blithely
And when they saw them, they said, “Truly these are astray!
Though they were not sent as guardians over them
So that Day those who believe shall laugh at those who disbelieve
upon couches, gazing
Have the disbelievers been requited for that which they used to do
