Stinters
Quran Surah 83
Woe to the stinters who when others measure for them, exact in full, but who, when they measure for others defraud them. Do such men not think that they will be raised to life on a great day, the day when all mankind shall stand before the Lord of all creation?
No indeed; the record of the transgressors is in the Sijjeen. Would that you knew what Sijjeen is? It is a sealed book Woe on that day to the disbelievers who deny the day of Judgment. None denies it but the guilty aggressors, the evil doers, who when our revelations are recited to them, cry, “Fables of the ancients!” No, indeed; their own deeds have cast a layer of rust over their hearts. No, indeed; on that day they shall be shut out from their Lord, they shall roast in Hell, and a voice will say to them “This is the reality which you denied!”
But the record of the righteous is in the Illiyun. Would you knew what Illiyun is? It is a sealed book, witnessed only by those only closest to Allah. The righteous shall surely dwell in bliss. Reclining upon soft couches they will look around them. In their faces you shall mark the glow of joy. They shall be given to drink of a pure –drink, securely seded, with a seal of musk, for this let the strivers emulously strive. It is a drink mixed with the waters of Tassneem a fountain at which the favored will drink.
The evil-doers scoff at the faithful and wink at one another as they pass by them. When they go back to their folk they speak of them with jests, and when they see them they say:”These are erring men!” Yet, they have not been assigned the mission of being their guardians. So on that day the faithful shall mock the disbelievers, as they recline upon their couches and look around them. Shall not the disbelievers be rewarded according to their deeds.
