English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

Woe to the defrauders

those who take full measure when they take from others

but they give less when they measure or weigh for them

Do they really not think that they will be resurrected

for a momentous Day

a Day when people will stand before the Lord of the worlds

No indeed! The record of the wicked is surely in Sijjīn

How do you know what Sijjīn is

It is a clearly inscribed Record

Woe on that Day to the deniers

those who deny the Judgment Day

None denies it except every sinful transgressor

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “Ancient fables!”

No indeed! Their hearts have been stained by what they used to commit

No indeed! On that Day they will be barred from seeing their Lord

They will then surely enter the Blazing Fire

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

No indeed! The record of the righteous is certainly in ‘illiyyīn –

and how do you know what ‘illiyyūn is? –

It is a record inscribed

witnessed by those who are close to Allah

Indeed, the righteous will be in Bliss

seated on the couches, gazing in wonder

You will see on their faces the radiance of bliss

They will be served to drink pure wine from a sealed container

whose last sip is musk – let those who strive, strive for that –

and it will be mixed with water from the spring of Tasnīm

a spring from which those who are close to Allah will drink

when they passed by them, they would wink at one another

and when they went back to their people, they would return exulting

When they saw the believers, they would say, “These people are truly misguided,”

although they were not sent as their keepers

So Today the believers will laugh at the disbelievers

while sitting on the couches, gazing around

Have the disbelievers been rewarded except for what they used to do
