Al-Mutaffifin

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ

Woe unto the defrauders

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ

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

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ

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

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ

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

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Unto an Awful Day

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ

Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ

Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is

كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ

A written record

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Those who deny the Day of Judgment

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

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

كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Then lo! they verily will burn in hell

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ

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

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ

Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is

كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ

A written record

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ

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

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ

Lo! the righteous verily are in delight

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

On couches, gazing

تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ

They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed

خِتَـٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ

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

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ

And mixed with water of Tasnim

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ

A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ

Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

And wink one to another when they passed them

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ

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

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ

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

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَـٰفِظِينَ

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

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

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

On high couches, gazing

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ

Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do
