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:

- The Miraculous QuranThe first and second articles are an introduction for the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and make comparison between the Quran’s content and the orientalists’ sayings about it. The third explains that in order for a religion to be true, it must be from God in a total sense and not only in its origin then the scholars distort it. The fourth and fifth mention one of the unique qualities of the Quran which is its detailed preservation, a fact which makes it much different than all other religions, confirm that the Quran itself contains proofs for its truth and requires no “leap of faith” in order to believe it, and take a look at the accusation that Muhammad borrowed or stole the Quran from other religions, particularly the Christianity and the Judaism. The sixth and seventh mention the depictions of God and the Prophets in the Quran vs. the Bible and the Talmud and explain the comprehensiveness, completeness, balance and practicality of the legislation of the Quran. The eighth shows the Quran's effect on the generation of the Prophet and the next generations to the extent that it made them leaders of the world to guide people to the straight path. The ninth mentions a unique prophecy which dealt with events completely out of the control of the Prophet or the Arabs that the Byzantine kingdom will defeat the Persian Kingdom within three to nine years. The tenth takes a look at some of the scientific facts mentioned in the Quran which modern scientists, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, affirm as true. Finally, the eleventh shows the linguistic miracle of the Quran and refers that Allah challenged the disbelievers of Makkah to compile a book like the Quran but they failed. The challenge got into very simple standard i.e. to compile a Surah (Chapter) looks like any of its Surahs but they also failed.
