Al-Mutaffifin
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Woe unto the defrauders: (1)
Those who when they take the
measure from mankind demand it full, (2)
But if they measure unto them or
weight for them, they cause them loss. (3)
Do such (men) not consider that
they will be raised again (4)
Unto an awful Day, (5)
The day when (all) mankind stand
before the Lord of the Worlds? (6)
Nay, but the record of the vile is
in Sijjin - (7)
Ah! what will convey unto thee
what Sijjin is! - (8)
A written record. (9)
Woe unto the repudiators on that
day! (10)
Those who deny the Day of
Judgment (11)
Which none denieth save each
criminal transgressor, (12)
Who, when Our revelations are
recited unto him, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of
old. (13)
Nay, but that which they have
earned is rust upon their hearts. (14)
Nay, but surely on that day they
will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord. (15)
Then lo! they verily will burn in
hell, (16)
And it will be said (unto them):
This is that which ye used to deny. (17)
Nay, but the record of the
righteous is in 'Illiyin - (18)
Ah, what will convey unto thee
what 'Illiyin is! - (19)
A written record, (20)
Attested by those who are brought
near (unto their Lord). (21)
Lo! the righteous verily are in
delight, (22)
On couches, gazing, (23)
Thou wilt know in their faces the
radiance of delight. (24)
They are given to drink of a pure
wine, sealed, (25)
Whose seal is musk - for this let
(all) those strive who strive for bliss - (26)
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
(27)
A spring whence those brought
near to Allah drink. (28)
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at
those who believed, (29)
And wink one to another when they
passed them; (30)
And when they returned to their
own folk, they returned jesting; (31)
And when they saw them they said:
Lo! these have gone astray. (32)
Yet they were not sent as
guardians over them. (33)
This day it is those who believe
who have the laugh of disbelievers, (34)
On high couches, gazing. (35)
Are not the disbelievers paid for
what they used to do? (36)
