English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

Woe be unto those who give short measure or weight

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

but when they measure unto them, or weigh unto them, defraud

Do not these think they shall be raised again

at the great day

the day whereon mankind shall stand before the Lord of all creatures

By no means. Verily the register of the actions of the wicked is surely in Sejjin

And what shall make thee to understand what Sejjin is

It is a book distinctly written

Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

who denied the day of judgment as a falsehood

And none denieth the same as falsehood, except every unjust and flagitious person

Who, when our signs are rehearsed unto him, saith, they are fables of the ancients

By no means: But rather their lusts have cast a veil over their hearts

By no means. Verily they shall be shut out from their Lord on that day

Then shall it be said unto them, by the infernal guards, this is what ye denied as a falsehood

Assuredly. But the register of the actions of the righteous is in Illiyyun

And what shall cause thee to understand what Illiyyun is

It is a book distinctly written

Those who approach near unto God, are witnesses thereto

Verily the righteous shall dwell among delights

Seated on couches they shall behold objects of pleasure

thou shalt see in their faces the brightness of joy

They shall be given to drink of pure wine, sealed

the seal whereof shall be musk: And to this let those aspire, who aspire to happiness

And the water mixed therewith shall be of Tasnim

a fountain whereof those shall drink who approach near unto the divine presence

They who act wickedly laugh the true believers to scorn

and when they pass by them, they wink at one another

And when they turn aside to their people, they turn aside making scurrilous jests

And when they see them, they say, verily these are mistaken men

But they are not sent to be keepers over them

Wherefore one day the true believers, in their turn, shall laugh the infidels to scorn

Lying on couches they shall look down upon them in hell

Shall not the infidels be rewarded for that which they have done
