Chapter 83, 36 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to Al-Mutaffifun (those who give less in measure and weight).
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure,
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
And when they have to give by measure or weight to (other) men, give less than due.
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona
Do they not think that they will be resurrected (for reckoning),
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona
On a Great Day?
ليوم عظيم
Liyawmin AAatheemin
The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?
يوم يقوم الناس لرب العالمين
Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena
Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjar (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, evil-doers and the wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjin.
كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin
And what will make you know what Sijjin is?
وما أدراك ما سجين
Wama adraka ma sijjeenun
A Register inscribed.
كتاب مرقوم
Kitabun marqoomun
Woe, that Day, to those who deny.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Those who deny the Day of Recompense.
الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين
Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni
And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allah) the sinner!
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم
Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin
When Our Verses (of the Qur'an) are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!"
إذا تتلى عليه آياتنا قال أساطير الأولين
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena
Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.
كلا ۖ بل ۜ ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون
Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona
Nay! Surely they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.
كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona
Then, verily, they will indeed enter (and taste) the burning flame of Hell.
ثم إنهم لصالو الجحيم
Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi
Then, it will be said to them: "This is what you used to deny!"
ثم يقال هذا الذي كنتم به تكذبون
Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
Nay! Verily, the Record (writing of the deeds) of Al-Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) is (preserved) in 'Illiyyun
كلا إن كتاب الأبرار لفي عليين
Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena
And what will make you know what 'Illiyyun is?
وما أدراك ما عليون
Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona
A Register inscribed,
كتاب مرقوم
Kitabun marqoomun
To which bear witness those nearest (to Allah, i.e. the angels).
يشهده المقربون
Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona
Verily, Al-Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) will be in Delight (Paradise).
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
On thrones, looking (at all things).
على الأرائك ينظرون
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
You will recognise in their faces the brightness of delight.
تعرف في وجوههم نضرة النعيم
TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi
They will be given to drink of pure sealed wine.
يسقون من رحيق مختوم
Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin
The last thereof (that wine) will be the smell of Musk, and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e. hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allah).
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون
Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona
It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnim:
ومزاجه من تسنيم
Wamizajuhu min tasneemin
A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah.
عينا يشرب بها المقربون
AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona
Verily, (during the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
إن الذين أجرموا كانوا من الذين آمنوا يضحكون
Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona
And, whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery).
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;
وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين
Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena
And when they saw them, they said: "Verily these have indeed gone astray!"
وإذا رأوهم قالوا إن هؤلاء لضالون
Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona
But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers).
وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena
But this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers
فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون
Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona
On (high) thrones, looking (at all things).
على الأرائك ينظرون
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
Are not the disbelievers paid (fully) for what they used to do?
هل ثوب الكفار ما كانوا يفعلون
Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
