> SURA LXXXIII (83) - Those Who Stint  (Mecca - 36 Verses        (XLI - 57)       
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        Woe to those who Stint the measure:
>  
>        Who when they take by measure from others, exact the full;
>  
>        But when they mete to them or weigh to them, minish -
>  
>        What! have they no thought that they shall be raised again
>  
>        For the great day?
>  
>        The day when mankind shall stand before the Lord of the worlds.
>  
>        Yes! the register of the wicked is in Sidjin.
>  
>        And who shall make thee understand what Sidjin is?
>  
>        It is a book distinctly written.
>  
> 83:10  Woe, on that day, to those who treated our signs as lies,
>  
>        Who treated the day of judgment as a lie!
>  
>        None treat it as a lie, save the transgressor, the criminal,
>  
> 
>        Who, when our signs are rehearsed to him, saith, "Tales of the
> Ancients!"
>  
>        Yes; but their own works have got the mastery over their hearts.
>  
>        Yes; they shall be shut out as by a veil from their Lord on that day;
>  
>        Then shall they be burned in Hell-fire:
>  
>        Then shall it be said to them, "This is what ye deemed a lie."
>  
>        Even so.  But the register of the righteous is in Illiyoun.
>  
>        And who shall make thee understand what Illiyoun is?
>  
> 83:20  A book distinctly written;
>  
>        The angels who draw nigh unto God attest it.
>  
>        Surely, among delights shall the righteous dwell!
>  
>        Seated on bridal couches they will gaze around;
>  
>        Thou shalt mark in their faces the brightness of delight;
>  
>        Choice sealed wine shall be given them to quaff,
>  
>        The seal of musk.  For this let those pant who pant for bliss -
>  
>        Mingled therewith shall be the waters of Tasnim -
>  
>        Fount whereof they who draw nigh to God shall drink.
>  
>        The sinners indeed laugh the faithful to scorn:
>  
> 83:30  And when they pass by them they wink at one another, -
>  
>        And when they return to their own people, they return jesting,
>  
>        And when they see them they say, "These are the erring ones."
>  
>        And yet they have no mission to be their guardians.
>  
>        Therefore, on that day the faithful shall laugh the infidels to scorn,
>  
>        As reclining on bridal couches they behold them.
>  
>        Shall not the infidels be recompensed according to their works?
