Deed in Sijjin

Deed in Sijjin 

“Nay! Most surely the record of the wicked is in the sijjin. And what will make you know what the sijjin is? It is a written book.”

(Surah al-Muťaffifīn 83:7-9)

 Sijjin is either the name of that register which contains the account of deeds of disbelievers and transgressors. Or it is a special corner of Hell where the disbelievers and sinners will be consigned. Hence the translation of the ayats will be as follows:

“They should be fearful for it is written down that the transgressors will go to sijjin. And what can explain to you what sijjin is? It has already been written about it (And a decision has been taken which cannot be changed).”

 Hazrat Shoeb (a.s.) was preaching to his people:

 “O my people! Serve Allah, you have no god other than He, and do not give short measure and weight. Surely I see you in prosperity and surely I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing day. And O my people! Give full measure and weight fairly, and defraud not men their things, and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief.”

(Surah HÅ«d 11: 84-85)
