AL MUTHAFFIFIIN

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

83-1

Woe to those that deal in fraud,-

83-2

Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,

83-3

But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.

83-4

Do they not think that they will be called to account?-

83-5

On a Mighty Day,

83-6

A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?

83-7

Day! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.

83-8

And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?

83-9

(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed.

83-10

Woe, that Day, to those that deny-

83-11

Those that deny the Day of Judgment.

83-12

And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!

83-13

When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"

83-14

By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!

83-15

Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.

83-16

Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell.

83-17

Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!

83-18

Day, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin.

83-19

And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is?

83-20

(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed,

83-21

To which bear witness those Nearest (to God).

83-22

Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:

83-23

On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things):

83-24

Thou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.

83-25

Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:

83-26

The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:

83-27

With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim:

83-28

A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to God.

83-29

Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,

83-30

And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);

83-31

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

83-32

And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"

83-33

But they had not been sent as keepers over them!

83-34

But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:

83-35

On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).

83-36

Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?
