Surah Al-Mutaffifin (The Defrauding)

وَيۡلࣱ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِينَ ﴿1﴾

83:1 Woe to those who give less [than due],

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُونَ ﴿2﴾

83:2 Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ ﴿3﴾

83:3 But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ ﴿4﴾

83:4 Do they not think that they will be resurrected

لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمࣲ‏ ﴿5﴾

83:5 For a tremendous Day -

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿6﴾

83:6 The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينࣲ‏ ﴿7﴾

83:7 No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينࣱ‏ ﴿8﴾

83:8 And what can make you know what is sijjeen?

كِتَٰبࣱ مَّرۡقُومࣱ‏ ﴿9﴾

83:9 It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿10﴾

83:10 Woe, that Day, to the deniers,

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿11﴾

83:11 Who deny the Day of Recompense.

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ﴿12﴾

83:12 And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.

إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ﴿13﴾

83:13 When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ﴿14﴾

83:14 No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ ﴿15﴾

83:15 No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ﴿16﴾

83:16 Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿17﴾

83:17 Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ ﴿18﴾

83:18 No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ﴿19﴾

83:19 And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun?

كِتَٰبࣱ مَّرۡقُومࣱ‏ ﴿20﴾

83:20 It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed

يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ ﴿21﴾

83:21 Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ ﴿22﴾

83:22 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿23﴾

83:23 On adorned couches, observing.

تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿24﴾

83:24 You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.

يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقࣲ مَّخۡتُومٍ ﴿25﴾

83:25 They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed.

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكࣱۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ ﴿26﴾

83:26 The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ ﴿27﴾

83:27 And its mixture is of Tasneem,

عَيۡنࣰ ا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ ﴿28﴾

83:28 A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ ﴿29﴾

83:29 Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ﴿30﴾

83:30 And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ ﴿31﴾

83:31 And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ ﴿32﴾

83:32 And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ ﴿33﴾

83:33 But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ ﴿34﴾

83:34 So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿35﴾

83:35 On adorned couches, observing.

هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ ﴿36﴾

83:36 Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
