Al Mutaffine

1 Waylun lilmutaffifeena

1 Woe to the defrauders,

2 Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona

2 Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,

3 Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

3 But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.

4 Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona

4 Do not these think that they shall be raised again

5 Liyawmin AAatheemin

5 For a mighty day,

6 Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena

6 The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?

7 Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin

7 Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.

8 Wama adraka ma sijjeenun

8 And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?

9 Kitabun marqoomun

9 It is a written book.

10 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

10 Woe on that day to the rejecters,

11 Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni

11 Who give the lie to the day of judgment.

12 Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

12 And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one

13 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

13 When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.

14 Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona

14 Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.

15 Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona

15 Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.

16 Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

16 Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.

17 Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

17 Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.

18 Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena

18 Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.

19 Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

19 And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?

20 Kitabun marqoomun

20 It is a written book,

21 Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona

21 Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.

22 Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

22 Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,

23 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

23 On thrones, they shall gaze;

24 TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

24 You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.

25 Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

25 They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).

26 Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

26 The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.

27 Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

27 And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,

28 AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

28 A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).

29 Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

29 Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.

30 Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

30 And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.

31 Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

31 And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.

32 Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona

32 And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;

33 Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

33 And they were not sent to be keepers over them.

34 Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

34 So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;

35 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

35 On thrones, they will look.

36 Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona

36 Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
