11. Those who deny the Day of Recompense.

﴿وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ﴾

12. And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allâh) the sinner!

﴿إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ﴾

13. When Our Verses (of the Qur’ân) are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!"

﴿كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ﴾

18. Nay! Verily, the Record (writing of the deeds) of Al-Abrâr (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) is (preserved) in ‘Illiyyûn

﴿وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ﴾

26. The last thereof (that wine) will be the smell of Musk, and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e. hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allah).

﴿وَمِزَاجُهُ مِنْ تَسْنِيمٍ﴾

27. It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnîm:

﴿عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ﴾

28. A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allâh.

﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ﴾

29. Verily, (during the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

﴿وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ﴾

﴿وَإِذَا انْقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ﴾

31. And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

﴿وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ﴾

32. And when they saw them, they said: "Verily these have indeed gone astray!"

﴿وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ﴾

33. But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers).

﴿فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ﴾
