أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
2
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
﴿2﴾
83:2
Those who take full measure ˹when they buy˺ from people,
3
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
﴿3﴾
83:3
but give less when they measure or weigh for buyers.
4
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
﴿4﴾
83:4
Do such people not think that they will be resurrected
5
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ
﴿5﴾
83:5
for a tremendous Day—
6
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
﴿6﴾
83:6
the Day ˹all˺ people will stand before the Lord of all worlds?
7
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍۢ
﴿7﴾
83:7
But no! The wicked are certainly bound for Sijjîn1 ˹in the depths of Hell˺—
8
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌۭ
﴿8﴾
83:8
and what will make you realize what Sijjîn is?—
9
كِتَـٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ
﴿9﴾
83:9
a fate ˹already˺ sealed.1
10
وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
﴿10﴾
83:10
Woe on that Day to the deniers—
11
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
﴿11﴾
83:11
those who deny Judgment Day!
12
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
﴿12﴾
83:12
None would deny it except every evildoing transgressor.
13
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
﴿13﴾
83:13
Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “Ancient fables!”
14
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
﴿14﴾
83:14
But no! In fact, their hearts have been stained by all ˹the evil˺ they used to commit!
15
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
﴿15﴾
83:15
Undoubtedly, they will be sealed off from their Lord on that Day.
16
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
﴿16﴾
83:16
Moreover, they will surely burn in Hell,
17
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
﴿17﴾
83:17
and then be told, “This is what you used to deny.”
18
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
﴿18﴾
83:18
But no! The virtuous are certainly bound for ’Illiyûn1 ˹in elevated Gardens˺—
19
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
﴿19﴾
83:19
and what will make you realize what ’Illiyûn is?—
20
كِتَـٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ
﴿20﴾
83:20
a fate ˹already˺ sealed,
21
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
﴿21﴾
83:21
witnessed by those nearest ˹to Allah˺.
22
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
﴿22﴾
83:22
Surely the virtuous will be in bliss,
23
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
﴿23﴾
83:23
˹seated˺ on ˹canopied˺ couches, gazing around.
24
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
﴿24﴾
83:24
You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight.
25
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍۢ مَّخْتُومٍ
﴿25﴾
83:25
They will be given a drink of sealed, pure wine,
26
خِتَـٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌۭ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ
﴿26﴾
83:26
whose last sip will smell like musk. So let whoever aspires to this strive ˹diligently˺.
27
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
﴿27﴾
83:27
And this drink’s flavour will come from Tasnîm—
28
عَيْنًۭا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
﴿28﴾
83:28
a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink.
29
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
﴿29﴾
83:29
Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers,
30
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
﴿30﴾
83:30
wink to one another whenever they passed by,
