English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

WOE TO THOSE who give short measure

Whilst when they measure or weigh for them, give less

Do they not think they will be raised (to life) again

On a grievous day

The day all mankind will stand before the Lord of all the worlds

Indeed the ledger of the wicked will be in (the lowest depths) Sijjin

How will you comprehend what Sijjin is

It is a (repository of) distinctly written record

Ah the woe that day for those who deny

Who call the Day of judgement a lie

None denies it but the sinful transgressors

When Our revelations are recited before him, he says: "These are fables of long ago

No. In fact what they have been doing has rusted their hearts

Therefore they will be screened off from their Lord that day

Then they will indeed burn in Hell

They will then be told: "This is what you had denied

Surely the ledger of the pious will be in 'Illiyun (heights above the heights)

But how will you comprehend what 'Illiyun is

It is a (repository of) distinctly written record

Witnessed by those who are honoured

Verily the pious will be in heaven

On couches face to face

On their faces you will see the glow of beatitude

They will be served the choicest wine, sealed

With a sealing of musk, which those who aspire for the best should desire

Blended with the water of Tasnim, (heights ultimate of evolution)

A fountain from which only they who are honoured drink

The sinners indeed laughed at believers

And winked at one another as they passed by them

And when they went back to their people turned to make fun of them

And when they saw them, they said: "They have indeed gone astray

But they were not Sent to be guardians over them

So, the believers will laugh at the infidels on that day

Regarding them from their cushioned seats

Will not the infidels pay for what they had done
