Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

4 Do they not think that they will be resurrected

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

5 For a tremendous Day -

Pickthall

5 Unto an Awful Day,

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

8 And what can make you know what is sijjeen?

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

9 A written record.

Saheeh International

10 Woe, that Day, to the deniers,

Pickthall

10 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

Saheeh International

11 Who deny the Day of Recompense.

Pickthall

11 Those who deny the Day of Judgment

Saheeh International

12 And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.

Pickthall

12 Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

16 Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,

Saheeh International

17 Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

20 A written record,

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

22 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

Pickthall

22 Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,

Saheeh International

23 On adorned couches, observing.

Pickthall

23 On couches, gazing,

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

27 And its mixture is of Tasneem,

Pickthall

27 And mixed with water of Tasnim,

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

30 And wink one to another when they passed them;

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

33 Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

35 On adorned couches, observing.

Pickthall

35 On high couches, gazing.

Saheeh International

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

Pickthall

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