Al-Mutaffifin
/ The Deceivers In Measuring |
|
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
|
1 |
Woe to those that deal in fraud |
|
2 |
Those who when they have to receive by measure from men exact full measure. |
|
3 |
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men give less than due. |
|
4 |
Do they not think that they will be called to account? |
|
5 |
On a Mighty Day |
|
6 |
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds? |
|
7 |
Nay! Surely the Record of the Wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin |
|
8 |
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is? |
|
9 |
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed. |
|
10 |
Woe that Day to those that deny |
|
11 |
Those that deny the Day of Judgment. |
|
12 |
And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner! |
|
13 |
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him he says "Tales of the Ancients!" |
|
14 |
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do! |
|
15 |
Verily from (the Light of) their Lord that Day will they be veiled. |
|
16 |
Further they will enter the Fire of Hell. |
|
17 |
Further it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!" |
|
18 |
Nay verily the Record of the Righteous is (preserved) in `Illiyin. |
|
19 |
And what will explain to thee whet `Illiyin is? |
|
20 |
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed. |
|
21 |
To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah). |
|
22 |
Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss: |
|
23 |
On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things): |
|
24 |
Thou wilt recognize in their Faces the beaming brightness of Bliss. |
|
25 |
Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed: |
|
26 |
The seal thereof will be Musk: and for this let those aspire who have aspirations: |
|
27 |
With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim: |
|
28 |
A spring from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah. |
|
29 |
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed |
|
30 |
And whenever they passed by them used to wink at each other (in mockery); |
|
31 |
And when they returned to their own people they would return jesting; |
|
32 |
And whenever they saw them they would say "Behold! these are the people truly astray!" |
|
33 |
But they had not been sent as Keepers over them! |
|
34 |
But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers. |
|
35 |
On Thrones (of Dignity) They will command (a sight) (of all things). |
|
36 |
Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did? |
