Al-Mutaffifin

Woe unto the defrauders

Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full

But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss

Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again

Unto an Awful Day

The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds

Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin

Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is

A written record

Woe unto the repudiators on that day

Those who deny the Day of Judgment

Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor

Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old

Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts

Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord

Then lo! they verily will burn in hell

And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny

Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin

Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is

A written record

Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord)

Lo! the righteous verily are in delight

On couches, gazing

Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight

They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed

Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss

And mixed with water of Tasnim

A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink

Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed

And wink one to another when they passed them

And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting

And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them

This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers

On high couches, gazing

Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do
