English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

Woe to the defrauders

Who, when they take the measure of their dues from men take it fully

But when they give by measure or weight, they are deficient

Do not these think that they shall be raised again to account

On a Mighty Day

The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the Worlds

Nay! Most surely the record of the wicked is in Sijjin

And what will explain to you what Sijjin is

It is an inscribed Record

Woe on that day to the rejecters

Who give the lie to the Day of Judgment

And none deny it but the transgressors beyond bounds, the sinful one

When Our revelations are recited to him, he says, "Stories of those of yore

Nay! But what they used to do has become like rust upon their heart

Nay! Most surely they shall on that day be debarred (or veiled) from their Lord

Then most surely they shall enter the burning Fire

Then shall it be said, "This is what you gave the lie to

Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in Iliyin

And what will explain to you what Iliyin is

It is an inscribed Record

Those who are drawn near to Allah shall witness it

Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss

On thrones, they shall gaze

You will see in their faces the brightness of bliss

They are given to drink pure wine, sealed

The sealing of it is with musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire

And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim

A fountain from which drink they who are nearest to Allah

Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe

And when they passed by them, they winked at one another

And when they returned to their own folk they returned exulting

And when they saw them, they said, "Most surely these are truly astray

This day it is the believers who shall laugh at the unbelievers

On thrones (of dignity), they will gaze

Are not the disbelievers rewarded for what they did
