Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do they not think that they will be called to account? -
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
On a Mighty Day,
Unto an Awful Day,
ليوم عظيم
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?
يوم يقوم الناس لرب العالمين
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Those that deny the Day of Judgment.
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
إذا تتلى عليه آياتنا قال أساطير الأولين
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
كلا ۖ بل ۜ ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ

Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
ثم إنهم لصالو الجحيم
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ

تعرف في وجوههم نضرة النعيم
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
يسقون من رحيق مختوم
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ

عينا يشرب بها المقربون
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
إن الذين أجرموا كانوا من الذين آمنوا يضحكون
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);
And wink one to another when they passed them;
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
وإذا رأوهم قالوا إن هؤلاء لضالون
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
But they had not been sent as keepers over them!
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).

على الأرائك ينظرون
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
هل ثوب الكفار ما كانوا يفعلون
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
