English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

Woe to the defrauders

Those who take full measure ˹when they buy˺ from people

but give less when they measure or weigh for buyers

Do such people not think that they will be resurrected

for a tremendous Day—

But no! The wicked are certainly bound for Sijjîn ˹in the depths of Hell˺—

and what will make you realize what Sijjîn is?—

a fate ˹already˺ sealed

Woe on that Day to the deniers—

those who deny Judgment Day

None would deny it except every evildoing transgressor

Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “Ancient fables!”

But no! In fact, their hearts have been stained by all ˹the evil˺ they used to commit

Undoubtedly, they will be sealed off from their Lord on that Day

Moreover, they will surely burn in Hell

and then be told, “This is what you used to deny.”

But no! The virtuous are certainly bound for ’Illiyûn ˹in elevated Gardens˺—

and what will make you realize what ’Illiyûn is?—

a fate ˹already˺ sealed

witnessed by those nearest ˹to Allah˺

Surely the virtuous will be in bliss

˹seated˺ on ˹canopied˺ couches, gazing around

You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight

They will be given a drink of sealed, pure wine

whose last sip will smell like musk. So let whoever aspires to this strive ˹diligently˺

And this drink’s flavour will come from Tasnîm—

a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink

Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers

wink to one another whenever they passed by

and muse ˹over these exploits˺ upon returning to their own people

And when they saw the faithful, they would say, “These ˹people˺ are truly astray,”

even though they were not sent as keepers over the believers

But on that Day the believers will be laughing at the disbelievers

as they sit on ˹canopied˺ couches, looking on

˹The believers will be asked,˺ “Have the disbelievers ˹not˺ been paid back for what they used to do?”
