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

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

4. Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning),

5. On a Great Day,

6. The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?

7. Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the disbelievers, sinners, evil-doers and wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.

8. And what will make you know what Sijjin is?

9. A Register inscribed.

10. Woe on that day to the deniers,

11. Those who deny the Day of Recompense.

12. And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds,

13. When Our Verses are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!"

14. No indeed! Their hearts are devoured with what they have done.

15. Nay! Surely, they will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.

16. Then, verily they will indeed enter and taste the burning flame of Hell.

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

18. Nay! Verily, the Record of the pious, is (preserved) in 'Illiyyun.

19. And what will make you know what 'Illiyyun is?

20. A Register inscribed.

24. You will recognize in their faces the brightness of delight.

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

26. The last thereof will be the smell of musk, and for this, let those strive who want to strive.

28. A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah.

29. Verily! Those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

30. And whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery);

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

32. And when they saw them, they said: "Verily! These have indeed gone astray!"

33. But they had not been sent as watchers over them.

34. But this Day those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers

35. On (high) thrones, looking (at all things).

36. Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
