English - Chapter 83 - Al-Mutaffifin

Woe to Al-Mutaffifin

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

Do they not think that they will be resurrected

On a Great Day

The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of all that exists

Nay! Truly, the Record of the wicked is in Sijjin

And what will make you know what Sijjin is

A Register inscribed

Woe, that Day, to those who deny

Those who deny the Day of Recompense

And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, the sinner

When Our Ayat are recited to him, he says: "Tales of the ancients

Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering) which they used to earn

Nay! Surely, they will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day

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

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

Nay! Verily, the Record of Al-Abrar (the righteous believers) is (preserved) in `Illiyyin

And what will make you know what `Illiyyin is

A Register inscribed

To which bear witness those nearest

Verily, Al-Abrar (the righteous believers) will be in Delight

On thrones, looking

You will recognize in their faces the brightness of delight

They will be given to drink of pure sealed Rahiq

Sealed with musk, and for this let those strive who want to strive

It will be mixed with Tasnim

A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah

Verily, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed

And, whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another

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 this Day those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers

On thrones, looking

Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do
