Chapter 83, 36 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona
Unto an Awful Day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Liyawmin AAatheemin
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ
Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
Wama adraka ma sijjeenun
A written record.
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Kitabun marqoomun
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ
Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ
Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena
Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona
A written record,
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Kitabun marqoomun
Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
On couches, gazing,
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ
TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ
Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
Wamizajuhu min tasneemin
A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ
Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona
And wink one to another when they passed them;
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ
Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ
Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ
Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona
On high couches, gazing.
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ
Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
