بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ﴿١﴾
Woe to those who give less [than due],1
—ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ﴿٢﴾
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
—وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ﴿٣﴾
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
—أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ﴿٤﴾
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
—لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ﴿٥﴾
For a tremendous Day -
—يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ﴿٦﴾
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
—كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ﴿٧﴾
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.
—وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ﴿٨﴾
And what can make you know what is sijjeen?
—كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ﴿٩﴾
It is [their destination1 recorded in] a register inscribed.
—وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ﴿١٠﴾
Woe, that Day, to the deniers,
—ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ﴿١١﴾
Who deny the Day of Recompense.
—وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ﴿١٢﴾
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.
—إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ﴿١٣﴾
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
—كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ﴿١٤﴾
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.1
—كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ﴿١٥﴾
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.1
—ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ﴿١٦﴾
Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.
—ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ﴿١٧﴾
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."
—كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ﴿١٨﴾
No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in ʿilliyyūn.
—وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ﴿١٩﴾
And what can make you know what is ʿilliyyūn?
—كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ﴿٢٠﴾
It is [their destination1 recorded in] a register inscribed
—يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ﴿٢١﴾
Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allāh].
—إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ﴿٢٢﴾
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure
—عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ﴿٢٣﴾
On adorned couches, observing.
—تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ﴿٢٤﴾
You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.
—يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ﴿٢٥﴾
They will be given to drink [pure] wine1 [which was] sealed.
—خِتَـٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ﴿٢٦﴾
The last of it1 is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.
—وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ﴿٢٧﴾
And its mixture is of Tasneem,1
—عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ﴿٢٨﴾
A spring from which those near [to Allāh] drink.
—إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ﴿٢٩﴾
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
—وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ﴿٣٠﴾
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
—وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ﴿٣١﴾
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
—وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ﴿٣٢﴾
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."
—وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَـٰفِظِينَ﴿٣٣﴾
But they had not been sent as guardians over them.
—فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ﴿٣٤﴾
So Today1 those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,
—عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ﴿٣٥﴾
On adorned couches, observing.
—هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ﴿٣٦﴾
Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
—
