English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

Woe to those who defraud

who when, they take by measure from men, take the full measure

but when they give by measure or by weight to others, they give less than due

Do they not think that they will be raised to life again

on a Mighty Day

a Day when all mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds

Indeed not! The record of the wicked is in Sijjeen (prison register)

what will explain to you, what the Sijjeen is

This is a written book of hell

Woe on that Day to the disbelievers

who deny the Day of Judgment

None denies it except the sinful transgressor

Who, when Our revelations are recited to him, says: "These are the tales of the ancient peoples

Of course not! In fact their misdeeds have caused a covering on their hearts

Indeed on that Day, they shall be debarred from the vision of their Lord

Then they shall be made to enter the hell

and told: "This is what you used to deny

But, surely the record of the righteous is in `Illiyeen (register of exalted ones)

and what will explain to you, what the `Illiyeen is

This is a written book

attested by those who are nearest to Allah (angels)

Surely the righteous will be in bliss

reclining on soft couches, looking all around

and you will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss

Their thirst will be quenched with the choicest sealed wine

and the seal will be of musk. Those who wish to excel above others, let them endeavor to excel in this

That wine shall have a mixture of Tasnim

a spring, at which those nearest to Allah will drink

During their life on earth, the culprits used to mock at the believers

When they returned to their own people they returned jesting

And when they saw the believers, they used to say: "These are the people who have surely gone astray

although they had not been sent as guardians over them

On that Day, the believers shall be laughing at the unbelievers

as they recline on couches and gaze at them

Have not the unbelievers been fully rewarded for what they used to do
