Al Mutaffine

Pickthall

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

5 Unto an Awful Day,

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

9 A written record.

Pickthall

10 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

Pickthall

11 Those who deny the Day of Judgment

Pickthall

12 Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

16 Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

20 A written record,

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

22 Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,

Pickthall

23 On couches, gazing,

Pickthall

24 Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

27 And mixed with water of Tasnim,

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

30 And wink one to another when they passed them;

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

33 Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

35 On high couches, gazing.

Pickthall

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