Sorah Al-Mutaffifin (Those Who Deal in Fraud) - Verses Number 36
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ ( 2 )

Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ ( 3 )

But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ ( 4 )

Do they not think that they will be called to account?-
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ( 6 )

A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ ( 7 )

Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ( 12 )

And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ( 13 )

When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ ( 14 )

By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ ( 15 )

Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ ( 17 )

Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ ( 18 )

Day, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin.
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ( 23 )

On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things):
تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ ( 24 )

Thou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.
خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ ( 26 )

The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ ( 28 )

A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ ( 29 )

Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ( 30 )

And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);
وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ ( 31 )

And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ ( 32 )

And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ ( 34 )

But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:

- Let the Bible SpeakThe author said in the beginning, "After reading the Bible carefully and completely, I found it containing the following texts: (1) False texts abusing the attributes of God (2) False texts abusing the prophets, falsely accusing them of adultery, fornication and idol-worshipping (3) Obscene tales full of graphic physical details (4) Strange stories, such as the story of the trees that called for an election among all trees to select the president among them. Still there are many who know nothing about these things. The reason may be: (1) The mere length of the Biblical, more than 3000 pages, which makes it difficult for most people to read (2) The fact that many Christian do not read the Bible but claim it only as a matter of tradition (3) The activities of priests who only read to people what they choose for them to know.
