Al-Mutaffifin -- Defrauding

وَيۡلࣱ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِينَ

Woe to those who give less [than due]

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُونَ

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

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ

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

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ

Do they not think that they will be resurrected

لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمࣲ‏

For a tremendous Day

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينࣲ‏

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

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينࣱ‏

And what can make you know what is sijjeen

كِتَٰبࣱ مَّرۡقُومࣱ‏

It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Who deny the Day of Recompense

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

And none deny it except every sinful transgressor

إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

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

كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

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

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ

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

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ

And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun

كِتَٰبࣱ مَّرۡقُومࣱ‏

It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed

يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah]

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

On adorned couches, observing

تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure

يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقࣲ مَّخۡتُومٍ

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

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكࣱۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ

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

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ

And its mixture is of Tasneem

عَيۡنࣰ ا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ

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

وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

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

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ

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

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ

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

وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ

But they had not been sent as guardians over them

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ

So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

On adorned couches, observing

هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ

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