Al-Mutaffifin

وَیۡلࣱ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِینَ

Woe unto the defrauders

ٱلَّذِینَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ یَسۡتَوۡفُونَ

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

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ یُخۡسِرُونَ

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

أَلَا یَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰۤئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ

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

لِیَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ

Unto an Awful Day

یَوۡمَ یَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

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

كَلَّاۤ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِی سِجِّینࣲ

Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin

وَمَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّینࣱ

Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is

كِتَـٰبࣱ مَّرۡقُومࣱ

A written record

وَیۡلࣱ یَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِینَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day

ٱلَّذِینَ یُكَذِّبُونَ بِیَوۡمِ ٱلدِّینِ

Those who deny the Day of Judgment

وَمَا یُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦۤ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِیمٍ

Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor

إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَیۡهِ ءَایَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِیرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

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

كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یَكۡسِبُونَ

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

كَلَّاۤ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ یَوۡمَئِذࣲ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

Then lo! they verily will burn in hell

ثُمَّ یُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِی كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

كَلَّاۤ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِی عِلِّیِّینَ

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

وَمَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّیُّونَ

Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is

كِتَـٰبࣱ مَّرۡقُومࣱ

A written record

یَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

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

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِی نَعِیمٍ

Lo! the righteous verily are in delight

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَاۤئِكِ یَنظُرُونَ

On couches, gazing

تَعۡرِفُ فِی وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِیمِ

Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight

یُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِیقࣲ مَّخۡتُومٍ

They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed

خِتَـٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكࣱۚ وَفِی ذَ ٰلِكَ فَلۡیَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ

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

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِیمٍ

And mixed with water of Tasnim

عَیۡنࣰا یَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ أَجۡرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ یَضۡحَكُونَ

Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمۡ یَتَغَامَزُونَ

And wink one to another when they passed them

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوۤا۟ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِینَ

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

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَضَاۤلُّونَ

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

وَمَاۤ أُرۡسِلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِمۡ حَـٰفِظِینَ

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them

فَٱلۡیَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ یَضۡحَكُونَ

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

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَاۤئِكِ یَنظُرُونَ

On high couches, gazing

هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ یَفۡعَلُونَ

Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do
