Al Mutaffine

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

1 Waylun lilmutaffifeena

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

2 Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona

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

3 Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

4 Do they not think that they will be resurrected

4 Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona

5 For a tremendous Day -

5 Liyawmin AAatheemin

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

6 Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena

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

7 Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin

8 And what can make you know what is sijjeen?

8 Wama adraka ma sijjeenun

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

9 Kitabun marqoomun

10 Woe, that Day, to the deniers,

10 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

11 Who deny the Day of Recompense.

11 Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni

12 And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.

12 Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

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

13 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

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

14 Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona

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

15 Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona

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

16 Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

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

17 Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

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

18 Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena

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

19 Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

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

20 Kitabun marqoomun

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

21 Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona

22 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

22 Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

23 On adorned couches, observing.

23 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

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

24 TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

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

25 Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

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

26 Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

27 And its mixture is of Tasneem,

27 Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

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

28 AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

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

29 Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

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

30 Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

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

31 Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

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

32 Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona

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

33 Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

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

34 Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

35 On adorned couches, observing.

35 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

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

36 Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
