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:

- Religious Freedom in Saudi ArabiaThe annual Religious Freedom Reports released by US State Department often include sections about religious freedom in Saudi Arabia. These reports are officially distributed by the State Department and then circulated amongst the centers of research in the West as well as the international media outlets and other channels. Saudi Arabia comes on top of concern of those involved in these reports, due to its religious and political significance. Accordingly, it becomes incumbent on us, as Saudis, to discuss the sections in these reports which cover religious freedom in our country and provide facts that are not included in these reports. While discussing these reports, we should explain to the world our view point vis-à-vis these reports. We should also allow the reader to discover the truth as stated therein and according to criteria upon which many fair-minded, rational people agreed with us.

- Night Prayer in RamadanA most rewarding and fulfilling part of a Muslim's worship are those blessed moments that he spends praying in the depth of the night, privately addressing his Great Lord, sincerely glorifying Him, humbly imploring Him - beseeching His forgiveness and asking Him for favors. The voluntary "night prayer", or qiyaam, is indispensable for a person's moral, spiritual, and physical welfare. Yet, it is greatly misunderstood and largely neglected by most Muslims

- Why Did Prophet Muhammad Marry Aisha the Young Girl?This is an important book talks about a common issue misunderstood but misused by lots of thinkers and orientalists. It is “Why did Prophet Muhammad marry Aisha the young girl?” The author shows the reason behind their discussion. They want to distort the picture of Prophet Muhammad not criticize the marriage of young girl. Also if this kind of marriage was strange, why did not the disbelievers of Quraish use it as a pretext against Muhammad?! The author discusses other topics such as: Europe also allows marrying young girls, the age of consent in most countries worldwide.
