83 - Surah Al-Mutaffifin المطففين

Woe to those who give less [than due],

waylun lil'muṭaffifīna

Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.

alladhīna idhā ik'tālū ʿalā l-nāsi yastawfūna

But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.

wa-idhā kālūhum aw wazanūhum yukh'sirūna

Do they not think that they will be resurrected

alā yaẓunnu ulāika annahum mabʿūthūna

For a tremendous Day -

liyawmin ʿaẓīmin

The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?

yawma yaqūmu l-nāsu lirabbi l-ʿālamīna

No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.

kallā inna kitāba l-fujāri lafī sijjīnin

And what can make you know what is sijjeen?

wamā adrāka mā sijjīnun

It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.

kitābun marqūmun

Woe, that Day, to the deniers,

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

Who deny the Day of Recompense.

alladhīna yukadhibūna biyawmi l-dīni

And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.

wamā yukadhibu bihi illā kullu muʿ'tadin athīmin

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

idhā tut'lā ʿalayhi āyātunā qāla asāṭīru l-awalīna

No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.

kallā bal rāna ʿalā qulūbihim mā kānū yaksibūna

No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.

kallā innahum ʿan rabbihim yawma-idhin lamaḥjūbūna

Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.

thumma innahum laṣālū l-jaḥīmi

Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."

thumma yuqālu hādhā alladhī kuntum bihi tukadhibūna

No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun.

kallā inna kitāba l-abrāri lafī ʿilliyyīna

And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun?

wamā adrāka mā ʿilliyyūna

It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed

kitābun marqūmun

Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].

yashhaduhu l-muqarabūna

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

inna l-abrāra lafī naʿīmin

On adorned couches, observing.

ʿalā l-arāiki yanẓurūna

You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.

taʿrifu fī wujūhihim naḍrata l-naʿīmi

They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed.

yus'qawna min raḥīqin makhtūmin

The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.

khitāmuhu mis'kun wafī dhālika falyatanāfasi l-mutanāfisūna

And its mixture is of Tasneem,

wamizājuhu min tasnīmin

A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink.

ʿaynan yashrabu bihā l-muqarabūna

Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

inna alladhīna ajramū kānū mina alladhīna āmanū yaḍḥakūna

And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.

wa-idhā marrū bihim yataghāmazūna

And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.

wa-idhā inqalabū ilā ahlihimu inqalabū fakihīna

And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

wa-idhā ra-awhum qālū inna hāulāi laḍāllūna

But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

wamā ur'silū ʿalayhim ḥāfiẓīna

So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,

fal-yawma alladhīna āmanū mina l-kufāri yaḍḥakūna

On adorned couches, observing.

ʿalā l-arāiki yanẓurūna

Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?

hal thuwwiba l-kufāru mā kānū yafʿalūna
