Sorah Al-Mutaffifin (Those Who Deal in Fraud) - Verses Number 36
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ ( 1 ) 
Woe to those that deal in fraud,-
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ ( 2 )
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ ( 3 )
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ ( 4 )
Do they not think that they will be called to account?-
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ( 5 )
On a Mighty Day,
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ( 6 )
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ ( 7 )
Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ ( 8 )
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ ( 9 )
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed.
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ( 10 )
Woe, that Day, to those that deny-
الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ ( 11 )
Those that deny the Day of Judgment.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ( 12 )
And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ( 13 )
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ ( 14 )
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ ( 15 )
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ ( 16 )
Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ ( 17 )
Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ ( 18 )
Day, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ( 19 )
And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is?
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ ( 20 )
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed,
يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ ( 21 )
To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah).
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ ( 22 )
Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ( 23 )
On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things):
تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ ( 24 )
Thou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ ( 25 )
Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:
خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ ( 26 )
The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:
وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ ( 27 )
With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim:
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ ( 28 )
A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ ( 29 )
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ( 30 )
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);
وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ ( 31 )
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ ( 32 )
And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ ( 33 )
But they had not been sent as keepers over them!
فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ ( 34 )
But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ( 35 )
On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ ( 36 )
Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?
