Al-Mutaffifin
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Woe to Al-Mutaffifun (those who give less in measure and weight).
(1) Those who, when they
have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure, (2) And when they have to
give by measure or weight to (other) men, give less than due. (3) Do they not think
that they will be resurrected (for reckoning), (4) On a Great Day, (5) The Day when (all)
mankind will stand before the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that
exists)? (6) Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjâr
(disbelievers, polytheists sinners, evil-doers and wicked) is (preserved) in
Sijjîn. (7) And what will make you know what Sijjîn is? (8) A Register inscribed.
(9) Woe, that Day, to
those who deny. (10) Those who deny the Day of Recompense. (11) And none can deny it
except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and
disobedience to Allâh), the sinner! (12) When Our Verses (of the Qur'ân) are recited
to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!" (13) Nay! But on their
hearts is the Rân (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn[] (14) Nay! Surely, they (evil-doers) will be veiled
from seeing their Lord that Day. (15) Then, verily they will indeed enter (and
taste) the burning flame of Hell. (16) Then, it will be said to them: "This is
what you used to deny!" (17) Nay! Verily, the Record (writing of the
deeds) of Al-Abrâr (the pious and righteous), is (preserved) in 'Illiyyûn. (18) And what will make
you know what 'Illiyyûn is? (19) A Register inscribed. (20) To which bear witness
those nearest (to Allâh, i.e. the angels). (21) Verily, Al-Abrâr (the
pious who fear Allâh and avoid evil) will be in Delight (
