83. Al-Mutaffifin - The Defrauding
| 1 | Ruin is for the defrauders. (Those who measure less.) |
| 2 | Those who when they take the measure from others, take it in full! |
| 3 | Whereas when they give others after measuring or weighing, they give them less! |
| 4 | What! Do they not expect that they will be raised? |
| 5 | (To be raised) for a Great Day? |
| 6 | The day when everyone will stand before the Lord Of The Creation. |
| 7 | Indeed, the record of the disbelievers is in the lowest place, the Sijjeen. |
| 8 | And what do you know, how (wretched) the Sijjeen is! |
| 9 | The record is a sealed text. |
| 10 | Ruin is for the deniers on that day! |
| 11 | Those who deny the Day of Justice. |
| 12 | And none will deny it, except every transgressor, rebel. |
| 13 | When you recite Our verses to him, he says, “Stories of earlier men!” |
| 14 | Not at all – but rather their earnings have heaped rust upon their hearts. |
| 15 | Yes indeed – they will be deprived of seeing their Lord on that day. |
| 16 | Then indeed they have to enter hell. |
| 17 | It will then be said, “This is what you used to deny.” |
| 18 | Indeed the record of the virtuous is in the highest place, the Illiyin. |
| 19 | And what do you know what the Illiyoon are! |
| 20 | The record is a sealed text. |
| 21 | Which is witnessed by the close ones. |
| 22 | Indeed the virtuous are in serenity. |
| 23 | On thrones, watching. |
| 24 | You will recognise the freshness of serenity on their faces. |
| 25 | They will be given pure wine to drink, which is kept preserved, sealed. |
| 26 | Its seal is upon musk; and for this should those who crave be eager. |
| 27 | And it is mixed with Tasneem. |
| 28 | The spring from which drink the ones close to Allah. |
| 29 | Indeed the guilty used to laugh at the believers. |
| 30 | And when the believers used to pass by, they used to gesture at each other with their eyes. |
| 31 | And whilst returning to their homes, they used to return rejoicing. |
| 32 | And upon seeing the Muslims, they used to say, “Indeed they have gone astray.” |
| 33 | Whereas they have not at all been sent as guardians over them. |
| 34 | So this day it is the believers who laugh at the disbelievers. |
| 35 | On high thrones, watching. |
| 36 | Did not the disbelievers get repaid for what they used to do? |
