وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ (1)
Woe to the defrauders |
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ (2)
those who take full measure when they take from others |
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ (3)
but they give less when they measure or weigh for them |
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ (4)
Do they really not think that they will be resurrected |
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ (5)
for a momentous Day |
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (6)
a Day when people will stand before the Lord of the worlds |
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ (7)
No indeed! The record of the wicked is surely in Sijjīn |
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ (8)
How do you know what Sijjīn is |
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ (9)
It is a clearly inscribed Record |
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ (10)
Woe on that Day to the deniers |
الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ (11)
those who deny the Judgment Day |
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ (12)
None denies it except every sinful transgressor |
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ (13)
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “Ancient fables!” |
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ (14)
No indeed! Their hearts have been stained by what they used to commit |
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ (15)
No indeed! On that Day they will be barred from seeing their Lord |
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ (16)
They will then surely enter the Blazing Fire |
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ (17)
then they will be told, “This is what you used to deny.” |
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ (18)
No indeed! The record of the righteous is certainly in ‘illiyyīn – |
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ (19)
and how do you know what ‘illiyyūn is? – |
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ (20)
It is a record inscribed |
يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ (21)
witnessed by those who are close to Allah |
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ (22)
Indeed, the righteous will be in Bliss |
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ (23)
seated on the couches, gazing in wonder |
تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ (24)
You will see on their faces the radiance of bliss |
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ (25)
They will be served to drink pure wine from a sealed container |
خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ (26)
whose last sip is musk – let those who strive, strive for that – |
وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ (27)
and it will be mixed with water from the spring of Tasnīm |
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ (28)
a spring from which those who are close to Allah will drink |
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ (29)
Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers |
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ (30)
when they passed by them, they would wink at one another |
وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ (31)
and when they went back to their people, they would return exulting |
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ (32)
When they saw the believers, they would say, “These people are truly misguided,” |
وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ (33)
although they were not sent as their keepers |
فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ (34)
So Today the believers will laugh at the disbelievers |
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ (35)
while sitting on the couches, gazing around |
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ (36)
Have the disbelievers been rewarded except for what they used to do |
