Surah Al-Mutaffifin سُورَةُ المُطَفِّفِينَ

وَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ1

Woe to those that deal in fraud,-

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ2

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

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ3

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

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ4

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

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ5

On a Mighty Day,

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ6

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍۢ7

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

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌۭ8

And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?

كِتَٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ9

(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ10

Woe, that Day, to those that deny-

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ11

Those that deny the Day of Judgment.

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ12

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

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ13

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

كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ14

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ15

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ16

Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ17

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

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ18

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

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ19

And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is?

كِتَٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ20

(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed,

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ21

To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah).

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ22

Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ23

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

تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ24

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

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍۢ مَّخْتُومٍ25

Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌۭ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ26

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

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ27

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

عَيْنًۭا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ28

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

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ29

Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ30

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

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ31

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

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ32

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

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ33

But they had not been sent as keepers over them!

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ34

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

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ35

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

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ36

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