English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

Shame on those who are unethical

Those who, when they have to receive an amount from others, demand the full amount

But when they have to give an amount to others, give less than owed

Do they not think that they will be called to account

On a mighty day

A day when all of humanity will stand before the Lord of all the worlds

No, surely the record of the corrupt is in sijjin

And what will explain to you what sijjin is

It is a register inscribed

Woe that day, to those who deny it

Those who deny the Day of Accountability

When Our signs are rehearsed to him, he says, “Tales of the ancients.”

By no means, but on their hearts is the stain of that which they do

Indeed, from their Lord that day, they will be veiled

Further, they will enter the fire of hell

Further, it will be said to them, “This is that which you rejected as false

No, indeed the record of the righteous is in illiyin

And what will explain to you what illiyin is

It is a register inscribed

To which those nearest bear witness

Truly the righteous will be in bliss

From on thrones, they observe

You will recognize in their faces the beaming brightness of bliss

Their thirst will be quenched with natural juice, sealed

The seal of it will be musk, and for this let those aspire who have aspirations

With it will be a mixture of tasnim

A spring, from which those nearest to God will drink

Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed

And whenever they passed by them, they used to wink at each other

And when they returned to their people, they would return joking

And whenever they saw them, they would say, “Behold, these are indeed people astray.”

But they had not been sent as keepers over them

But on this day, the believers will laugh at the unbelievers

On thrones they will observe

Will the unbelievers not have been paid back for what they did
