Chapter 83, 36 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
Woe to the defrauders,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
Unto an Awful Day,
For a mighty day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
A written record.
It is a written book.
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
A written record,
It is a written book,
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
On couches, gazing,
On thrones, they shall gaze;
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
And wink one to another when they passed them;
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
On high couches, gazing.
On thrones, they will look.
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
