আল মুতাফ্ফিফীন (ঠকবাজ ব্যক্তিরা)

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to Al-Mutaffifun (those who give less in measure and weight).

1 Woe to the defrauders,

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

2 Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure,

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

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

3 And when they have to give by measure or weight to (other) men, give less than due.

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

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

4 Do they not think that they will be resurrected (for reckoning),

4 Do not these think that they shall be raised again

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

5 On a Great Day?

5 For a mighty day,

5 Unto an Awful Day,

6 The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?

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

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

7 Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjar (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, evil-doers and the wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjin.

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

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

8 And what will make you know what Sijjin is?

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

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

9 A Register inscribed.

9 It is a written book.

9 A written record.

10 Woe, that Day, to those who deny.

10 Woe on that day to the rejecters,

10 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

11 Those who deny the Day of Recompense.

11 Who give the lie to the day of judgment.

11 Those who deny the Day of Judgment

12 And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allah) the sinner!

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

12 Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,

13 When Our Verses (of the Qur'an) are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!"

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

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

14 Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.

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

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

15 Nay! Surely they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.

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

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

16 Then, verily, they will indeed enter (and taste) the burning flame of Hell.

16 Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.

16 Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,

17 Then, it will be said to them: "This is what you used to deny!"

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

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

18 Nay! Verily, the Record (writing of the deeds) of Al-Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) is (preserved) in 'Illiyyun

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

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

19 And what will make you know what 'Illiyyun is?

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

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

20 A Register inscribed,

20 It is a written book,

20 A written record,

21 To which bear witness those nearest (to Allah, i.e. the angels).

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

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

22 Verily, Al-Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism) will be in Delight (Paradise).

22 Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,

22 Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,

23 On thrones, looking (at all things).

23 On thrones, they shall gaze;

23 On couches, gazing,

24 You will recognise in their faces the brightness of delight.

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

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

25 They will be given to drink of pure sealed wine.

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

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

26 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).

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

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

27 It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnim:

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

27 And mixed with water of Tasnim,

28 A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah.

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

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

29 Verily, (during the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

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

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

30 And, whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery).

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

30 And wink one to another when they passed them;

31 And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

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

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

32 And when they saw them, they said: "Verily these have indeed gone astray!"

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

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

33 But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers).

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

33 Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

34 But this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers

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

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

35 On (high) thrones, looking (at all things).

35 On thrones, they will look.

35 On high couches, gazing.

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

36 Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.

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