Holy Quran > English Translation > 83- Al-Mutaffifin (The Defrauders)

 1 . Woe unto the defrauders :

 2 . Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full ,

 3 . But if they measure unto them or weigh for them , they cause them loss .

 4 . Do such ( men ) not consider that they will be again

 5 . Unto an awful Day ,

 6 . The day when ( all ) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds?

 7 . Nay , but the record of the vile is in Sijjin

 8 . Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is!

 9 . A written record .

 10 . Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

 11 . Those who deny the Day of Judgment

 12 . Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor ,

 13 . Who , when thou readest unto him Our revelations , saith : ( Mere ) fables of the men of old

 14 . Nay , but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts .

 15 . Nay , but surely on that day they will be covered from ( the mercy of ) their Lord .

 16 . Then lo! they verily will burn in hell ,

 17 . And it will be said ( unto them ) : This is that which ye used to deny .

 18 . Nay , but the record of the righteous is in Iliyin

 19 . Ah , what will convey unto thee what Iliyin is!

 20 . A written record ,

 21 . Attested by those who are brought near ( unto their Lord ) .

 22 . Lo! the righteous verily are in delight ,

 23 . On couches , gazing ,

 24 . Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight

 25 . They are given to drink of a pure wine , sealed ,

 26 . Whose seal is musk . For this let ( all ) those strive who strive for bliss

 27 . And mixed with water of Tasnim ,

 28 . A spring whence those brought near to Allah drink

 29 . Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed ,

 30 . And wink one to another when they passed them ;

 31 . And when they returned to their own folk , they returned jetting ;

 32 . And when they saw them they said : Lo! these have gone astray .

 33 . Yet they were not sent as guardians over them .

 34 . This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers ,

 35 . On high couches , gazing .

 36 . Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
