Chapter 83, 36 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Woe to those who give less [than due],
Woe to the defrauders,
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
ليوم عظيم
For a tremendous Day -
For a mighty day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
يوم يقوم الناس لرب العالمين
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.
Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
وما أدراك ما سجين
And what can make you know what is sijjeen?
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
كتاب مرقوم
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.
It is a written book.
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Woe, that Day, to the deniers,
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين
Who deny the Day of Recompense.
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
إذا تتلى عليه آياتنا قال أساطير الأولين
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
كلا ۖ بل ۜ ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
ثم إنهم لصالو الجحيم
Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
ثم يقال هذا الذي كنتم به تكذبون
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
كلا إن كتاب الأبرار لفي عليين
No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun.
Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
وما أدراك ما عليون
And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun?
And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
كتاب مرقوم
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed
It is a written book,
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
يشهده المقربون
Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].
Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure
Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
على الأرائك ينظرون
On adorned couches, observing.
On thrones, they shall gaze;
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
تعرف في وجوههم نضرة النعيم
You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.
You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
يسقون من رحيق مختوم
They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed.
They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون
The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.
The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
ومزاجه من تسنيم
And its mixture is of Tasneem,
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
عينا يشرب بها المقربون
A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink.
A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
إن الذين أجرموا كانوا من الذين آمنوا يضحكون
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
وإذا رأوهم قالوا إن هؤلاء لضالون
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
But they had not been sent as guardians over them.
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون
So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
على الأرائك ينظرون
On adorned couches, observing.
On thrones, they will look.
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
هل ثوب الكفار ما كانوا يفعلون
Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
