আল মুতাফফীন

1 Woe to those who give less [than due],

1 Woe to the defrauders,

2 Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.

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

3 But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.

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

4 Do they not think that they will be resurrected

4 Do not these think that they shall be raised again

5 For a tremendous Day -

5 For a mighty day,

6 The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?

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

7 No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.

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

8 And what can make you know what is sijjeen?

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

9 It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.

9 It is a written book.

10 Woe, that Day, to the deniers,

10 Woe on that day to the rejecters,

11 Who deny the Day of Recompense.

11 Who give the lie to the day of judgment.

12 And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.

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

13 When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

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

14 No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.

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

15 No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.

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

16 Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.

16 Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.

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.

18 No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun.

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

19 And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun?

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

20 It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed

20 It is a written book,

21 Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].

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

22 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

22 Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,

23 On adorned couches, observing.

23 On thrones, they shall gaze;

24 You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.

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

25 They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed.

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

26 The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.

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

27 And its mixture is of Tasneem,

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

28 A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink.

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

29 Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

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

30 And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.

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

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

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

32 And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

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

33 But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

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

34 So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,

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

35 On adorned couches, observing.

35 On thrones, they will look.

36 Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?

36 Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
