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?
