English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

Woe to Al-Mutaffifin [those who give less in measure and weight (decrease the rights of others]

Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure

And when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due

Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning)

On a Great Day

The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)

Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjar (disbelievers, sinners, evil-doers and wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjin

And what will make you know what Sijjin is

A Register inscribed

Woe, that Day, to those who deny [(Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection, and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments]

Those who deny the Day of Recompense

And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience of Allah, the sinner)

When Our Verses (of the Quran) are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients

Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn

Nay! Surely, they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day

Then, verily they will indeed enter and taste the burning flame of Hell

Then, it will be said to them: "This is what you used to deny

Nay! Verily, the Record (writing of the deeds) of Al-Abrar (the pious who fear Allah and avoid evil), is (preserved) in 'Illiyyun

And what will make you know what 'Illiyyun is

A Register inscribed

To which bear witness those nearest (to Allah, i.e. the angels)

Verily, Al-Abrar (the pious who fear Allah and avoid evil) will be in delight (Paradise)

You will recognise in their faces the brightness of delight

They will be given to drink pure sealed wine

The last thereof (that wine) will be the smell of musk, and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e. hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allah)

It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnim

A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah

Verily! (During the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed

And whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery)

And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting

And when they saw them, they said: "Verily! These have indeed gone astray

But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers)

But this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers

On (high) thrones, looking (at all things)

Are not the disbelievers paid (fully) for what they used to do
