Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to those who give less [than due],
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Woe to the defrauders,
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
For a tremendous Day -
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
For a mighty day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ
Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
And what can make you know what is sijjeen?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
It is a written book.
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Woe, that Day, to the deniers,
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Who deny the Day of Recompense.
الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun.
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ
Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
It is a written book,
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].
يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
On adorned couches, observing.
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
On thrones, they shall gaze;
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.
تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ
You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed.
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.
خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ
The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
And its mixture is of Tasneem,
وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink.
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
But they had not been sent as guardians over them.
وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,
فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
On adorned couches, observing.
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
On thrones, they will look.
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ
Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
