Surah Al-Mutaffifin

وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ ۝١

Woe to those who give short measure,

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ ۝٢

who demand of other people full measure for themselves,

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ ۝٣

but when they give by measurement or weight to others, they give them less.

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ ۝٤

Do such people not realize that they will be raised up,

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ۝٥

on a fateful Day.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٦

The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the Universe?

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ ۝٧

Indeed! The record of the wicked is in the Sijjin --

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ ۝٨

and what could make you understand what the Sijjin is? --

كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ ۝٩

it is a written record.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ۝١٠

Woe, on that Day, to those who reject,

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝١١

those who deny the Day of Judgement.

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ۝١٢

No one denies it except for the evil aggressor.

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٣

When Our revelations are conveyed to him, he says, "Fables of the ancients!"

كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ۝١٤

No! Their own deeds have cast a veil over their hearts.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ ۝١٥

Indeed! On that Day a barrier will be set between them and their Lord,

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦

then they shall enter the Fire of Hell,

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝١٧

and they will be told, "This is what you were wont to belie."

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ ۝١٨

But, the record of the righteous is [preserved] in the 'Illiyyin --

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ۝١٩

and what will make you understand what the 'Illiyyin is? --

كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ ۝٢٠

a written record,

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ۝٢١

which those angels closest to God will bear witness to.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ ۝٢٢

The virtuous will surely be in bliss,

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ۝٢٣

seated on couches and gazing around in wonder.

تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٢٤

You will find in their faces the brightness of bliss.

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ ۝٢٥

They will be given a drink of pure wine, sealed,

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ ۝٢٦

its seal will be of musk -- for this let the aspirants aspire --

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ ۝٢٧

a wine tempered with the waters of Tasnim,

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ۝٢٨

a spring at which those drawn close to God will drink.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ ۝٢٩

The wicked used to laugh at the believers --

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ۝٣٠

when they passed by them, they would wink at one another;

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ ۝٣١

and when they returned to their own people, they would speak of them jestingly;

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ ۝٣٢

and when they saw them, they said [scornfully], "These men have surely gone astray,"

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ ۝٣٣

though they were not sent to be their keepers --

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ ۝٣٤

so today those who believe shall [be able to] laugh at those who denied the truth

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ۝٣٥

as they sit on couches, gazing around.

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ ۝٣٦

Have those who deny the truth [not] been paid back for their deeds?
