83:1
Woe to those who give less [than due],

83:2
Who take in full when they take a measure from people.

83:3
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.

83:4
Do they not think that they will be resurrected

83:5
For a Great Day -

83:6
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?

83:7
No! Indeed, the Book of the wicked is in sijjeen.

83:8
And what can make you know what sijjeen is?

83:9
It is a written Book. *Book of Jubilees 30:31

83:10
Woe to the deniers that Day,

83:11
Who deny the Day of the Religion.

83:12
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.

83:13
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former [peoples]."

83:14
No! Rather, the stain of that which they were earning has covered their hearts.

83:15
No! Indeed, they will be partitioned from their Lord that Day.

83:16
Then indeed, they will burn in Hellfire.

83:17
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."

83:18
No! Indeed, the Book of the righteous is in 'illiyyun.

83:19
And what can make you know what 'illiyyun is?

83:20
It is a written Book *Exodus 32:32 - 33, *Book of Jubilees 30:31, *Book of Jubilees 36:12*Psalms 69:28, *Malachi 3:16, *Revelation 20:15*Shepherd of Hermas 51:9

83:21
Which is witnessed by those brought near [to God]. *Book of Enoch 47:3

83:22
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

83:23
Observing on adorned thrones. *Book of Enoch 108:12

83:24
You will recognize the radiance of pleasure in their faces.

83:25
They will be given pure sealed wine to drink.

83:26
Its seal is musk. So let the competitors compete for this.

83:27
And its mixture is of Tasneem,

83:28
A spring from which those near [to God] drink. *Book of Enoch 48:1

83:29
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

83:30
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.

83:31
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.

83:32
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

83:33
But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

83:34
So Today, those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,

83:35
Observing on adorned thrones.

83:36
Have the disbelievers been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
