Al-Mutaffifin

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ ۝١

Woe unto the defrauders:

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ ۝٢

Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ ۝٣

But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ ۝٤

Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ۝٥

Unto an Awful Day,

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٦

The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds?

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ ۝٧

Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ ۝٨

Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -

كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ ۝٩

A written record.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ۝١٠

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝١١

Those who deny the Day of Judgment

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ۝١٢

Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٣

Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.

كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ۝١٤

Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ ۝١٥

Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦

Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝١٧

And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ ۝١٨

Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ۝١٩

Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -

كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ ۝٢٠

A written record,

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ۝٢١

Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ ۝٢٢

Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ۝٢٣

On couches, gazing,

تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٢٤

Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ ۝٢٥

They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,

خِتَـٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ ۝٢٦

Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ ۝٢٧

And mixed with water of Tasnim,

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ۝٢٨

A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ ۝٢٩

Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ۝٣٠

And wink one to another when they passed them;

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ ۝٣١

And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ ۝٣٢

And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَـٰفِظِينَ ۝٣٣

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ ۝٣٤

This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ۝٣٥

On high couches, gazing.

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ ۝٣٦

Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
