Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjar (disbelievers, sinners, evil-doers and wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjin.

And what will make you know what Sijjin is?

A Register inscribed.
[al-Mutaffifeen; 7-9]
Commenting on this verse, Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) said that the destination of the Fujjaar (disbelievers, sinners and evildoers) is in Sijjeen. Sijjeen is derived from the word Sijn, which means a constricted place; hence the word sihn being used to denote a prison. The wording, "And what will make you know," is used for the effect, to signify the enormity of the matter: Sijjeen is an eternal prison, a constricted place of severe torment. Ibn Katheer then mentioned various interpretations of Sijjeen (one of them is implied in the above-mentioned translation), after which he said, "The correct view is that Sijjeen is taken from the word Sijn, which denotes the meaning of constriction. The deeper created beings descend into it (i.e.into the Hellfire), the more constricted it will be for them.." And the Fujjaar (disbelievers, evildoers) are headed to Jahannam which is an abode for the lowest of the low:

Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low,

Save those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, then they shall have a reward without end (Paradise).
[at-Teen; 5-6]
The verse, "A Registered inscribed", is not an answer as it might seem to the preceeding verse: "And what will amek you know what Sijjeen is?" Rather, it refers to what is written for them, in terms of their destination being Sijjeen. Marqoom means that it is written and done with; no one can add to it and no one can subtract from it. Ibn `Abbaas (radiyAllaahu `anhu) and al-Dahhaak said that Marqoom means "sealed", something that is established and cannot be erased. Hence it is inscribed in a Register, which cannot be erased, that the Fujjaar (disblievers and evildoers) will end up in Sijjeen - an extremely constricted part of the Hellfire. What does a Faajir do in this world? He disbelieves in his Lord; he perpetrates all kinds of wicked deeds, and he finds delight in doing as he pleases.
