الَّذِينَ
إِذَا اكْتَالُواْ عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ

Those who when they buy and receive an amount

3- |
But when they are selling it by measure or

أُولَئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ |

|
|
7- |
Not so, (this is not the way they think or
they believe, they do not believe in the Day of Judgment).
Certainly the Record book of the wicked evil- mongers will be in

أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ |

Too bad on that Day for those who deny the truth,
claiming them to be lies. |

|
|
11- |
Those who deny the Day of Religion (the Day

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ
أَثِيمٍ |
|
|
12- |
And no one would deny it except those who
trespass the limits set by God and indulge in sins. |

تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ |
|
|
13- |
So that when Our Verses (of the Quran) are
recited to him, he would say; “These are tales of the ancients.”

|
|
14- |
Not so, but the evil results of their deeds,
caused a covering upon their hearts (so that they can not
believe), |
|
كَلَّا
إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ |
|
|
15- |
No way, they (the habitual sinners will not
be favored upon, but) will surely be barred (from their Lord‘s
Mercy) |
|
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا الْجَحِيمِ
|
|
|

Then they will arrive and enter the Fire of
Hell. |

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ
هَذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ |

17- |
Then they will be told; “This is what you
used to deny”. |

|
وَمَا
أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ |
|
|
19- |
And what is your understanding of Illiyyoon? |
|

up (about the good people), |

Which is a drink from a spring, from which
the ones who are nearest to God, have the privilege to drink
from. |

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُواْ مِنَ
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ |

In fact those who committed crimes and sins

And when they returned to their own kind of

|
|
32- |
And when they saw them, they would say:
“those guys are really gone nuts”. |

وَمَا
أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ |
|
|
33- |
But they (the disbelievers) were not sent
with any duty or business to watch or protect them (the
believers). |

فَالْيَوْمَ
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ |
|
|
