Surah Al-Mutaffifin

وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِيْنَ ۝١ۙ

1Woe to the defrauders, who use short measures,

الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا اكْتَالُوْا عَلَي النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُوْنَ ۝٢ؗۖ

2who, when they measure [a commodity bought] from the people, take the full measure,

وَاِذَا كَالُوْهُمْ اَوْ وَّزَنُوْهُمْ يُخْسِرُوْنَ ۝٣ؕ

3but diminish when they measure or weigh for them.

اَلَا يَظُنُّ اُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ اَنَّهُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَ ۝٤ۙ

4Do they not know that they will be resurrected

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍ ۝٥ۙ

5on a tremendous day,

يَّوْمَ يَقُوْمُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٦ؕ

6a day when mankind will stand before the Lord of all the worlds?

كَلَّا͏ٓ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِيْ سِجِّيْنٍ ۝٧ؕ

7Indeed, the record of the vicious is in Sijjeen.

وَمَا͏ٓ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا سِجِّيْنٌ ۝٨ؕ

8And what will show you what is Sijjeen?

كِتٰبٌ مَّرْقُوْمٌ ۝٩ؕ

9It is a written record.

وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ۝١٠ۙ

10Woe to the deniers on that day,

الَّذِيْنَ يُكَذِّبُوْنَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ ۝١١ؕ

11who deny the Day of Retribution;

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهٖٓ اِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ اَثِيْمٍ ۝١٢ۙ

12and none denies it except every sinful transgressor.

اِذَا تُتْلٰي عَلَيْهِ اٰيٰتُنَا قَالَ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝١٣ؕ

13When Our signs are recited to him, he says, ‘Myths of the ancients!’

كَلَّا بَلْࣝ رَانَ عَلٰي قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ ۝١٤

14No, that is not the case! Rather, their hearts have been sullied by what they have been earning.

كَلَّا͏ٓ اِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّمَحْجُوْبُوْنَ ۝١٥ؕ

15Indeed, they will be alienated from their Lord on that day.

ثُمَّ اِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا الْجَحِيْمِ ۝١٦ؕ

16Afterward they will enter hell,

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ ۝١٧ؕ

17then told, ‘This is what you used to deny!’

كَلَّا͏ٓ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الْاَبْرَارِ لَفِيْ عِلِّيِّيْنَ ۝١٨ؕ

18Indeed, the record of the pious is in Illeeyun.

وَمَا͏ٓ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا عِلِّيُّوْنَ ۝١٩ؕ

19And what will show you what is Illeeyun?

كِتٰبٌ مَّرْقُوْمٌ ۝٢٠ۙ

20It is a written record,

يَّشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَ ۝٢١ؕ

21witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].

اِنَّ الْاَبْرَارَ لَفِيْ نَعِيْمٍ ۝٢٢ۙ

22The pious shall be amid bliss,

عَلَي الْاَرَا࢜ىِٕكِ يَنْظُرُوْنَ ۝٢٣ۙ

23observing, [as they recline] on couches.

تَعْرِفُ فِيْ وُجُوْهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيْمِ ۝٢٤ۚ

24You will perceive in their faces the freshness of bliss.

يُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ رَّحِيْقٍ مَّخْتُوْمٍ ۝٢٥ۙ

25They will be served with a sealed pure wine,

خِتٰمُهٗ مِسْكٌؕ وَفِيْ ذٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُوْنَ ۝٢٦ؕ

26whose seal is musk—for such let the viers vie—

وَمِزَاجُهٗ مِنْ تَسْنِيْمٍ ۝٢٧ۙ

27and whose seasoning is from Tasneem,

عَيْنًا يَّشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَ ۝٢٨ؕ

28a spring where those brought near [to Allah] drink.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اَجْرَمُوْا كَانُوْا مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يَضْحَكُوْنَ ۝٢٩ؗۖ

29Indeed the guilty used to laugh at the faithful,

وَاِذَا مَرُّوْا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُوْنَ ۝٣٠ؗۖ

30and when they passed them by they would wink at each other,

وَاِذَا انْقَلَبُوْٓا اِلٰٓي اَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوْا فَكِهِيْنَ ۝٣١ؗۖ

31and when they returned to their folks they would return amused,

وَاِذَا رَاَوْهُمْ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّ هٰٓو͏ٔ͏ُلَا࢜ءِ لَضَا࢜لُّوْنَ ۝٣٢ۙ

32and when they saw them they would say, ‘Indeed those are the astray!’

وَمَا͏ٓ اُرْسِلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ حٰفِظِيْنَ ۝٣٣ؕ

33Though they were not sent to watch over them.

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُوْنَ ۝٣٤ۙ

34So today the faithful will laugh at the faithless,

عَلَي الْاَرَا࢜ىِٕكِۙ يَنْظُرُوْنَ ۝٣٥ؕ

35observing from their couches:

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوْا يَفْعَلُوْنَ ۝٣٦ࣖ

36Have the faithless been requited for what they used to do?
