كـَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٖ ٧
But no! The wicked are certainly bound for Sijjîn1 ˹in the depths of Hell˺—
83:7
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٞ ٨
and what will make you realize what Sijjîn is?—
83:8
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ ٩
a fate ˹already˺ sealed.1
83:9
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٠
Woe on that Day to the deniers—
83:10
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ١١
those who deny Judgment Day!
83:11
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ١٢
None would deny it except every evildoing transgressor.
83:12
إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٣
Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “Ancient fables!”
83:13
كـَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٤
But no! In fact, their hearts have been stained by all ˹the evil˺ they used to commit!
83:14
كـَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ ١٥
Undoubtedly, they will be sealed off from their Lord on that Day.
83:15
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ١٦
Moreover, they will surely burn in Hell,
83:16
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ١٧
and then be told, “This is what you used to deny.”
83:17
كـَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ ١٨
But no! The virtuous are certainly bound for ’Illiyûn1 ˹in elevated Gardens˺—
83:18
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ١٩
and what will make you realize what ’Illiyûn is?—
83:19
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ ٢٠
a fate ˹already˺ sealed,
83:20
يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ ٢١
witnessed by those nearest ˹to Allah˺.
83:21
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ ٢٢
Surely the virtuous will be in bliss,
83:22
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ٢٣
˹seated˺ on ˹canopied˺ couches, gazing around.
83:23
تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٢٤
You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight.
83:24
يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ ٢٥
They will be given a drink of sealed, pure wine,
83:25
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ ٢٦
whose last sip will smell like musk. So let whoever aspires to this strive ˹diligently˺.
83:26
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ ٢٧
And this drink’s flavour will come from Tasnîm—
83:27
عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ ٢٨
a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink.
83:28
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ ٢٩
Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers,
83:29
وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ٣٠
wink to one another whenever they passed by,
83:30
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ ٣١
and muse ˹over these exploits˺ upon returning to their own people.
83:31
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ ٣٢
And when they saw the faithful, they would say, “These ˹people˺ are truly astray,”
83:32
وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ ٣٣
even though they were not sent as keepers over the believers.
83:33
فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ ٣٤
But on that Day the believers will be laughing at the disbelievers,
83:34
