Surah Al Mutaffifin

Quran Chapter 83

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

1Woe to those who defraud.

2Those who, when they take a measure from people, demand it in full.

3Yet, when they are the ones measuring or weighing for others, they give less than what’s due.

4Don’t they think that they’ll be resurrected?

5On a tremendous Day?

6The Day when all humanity will stand before the Lord of the universes?

7No! The record of the wicked is in Sijjeen.

8And what will make you understand what Sijjeen is?

9A numerical document.

10Woe, on that Day, to the deniers.

11Those who deny Judgement Day.

12None denies it except every sinful transgressor.

13When Our verses are conveyed to him, he says, “Legends of the ancients.”

14Their hearts are rusted by what they’ve been earning.

15Surely, on that Day, they will be veiled from their Lord.

16Then, they’ll be thrust into the searing flames.

17Then it will be said: “This is what you used to deny.”

18However, the record of the righteous is in Ellyeen.

19And what will make you understand what Elleyoon is?

20A numerical document.

21Witnessed by those drawn near.

22Indeed, the virtuous will be in pleasure.

23On adorned couches, observing.

24You will recognize on their faces the radiance of bliss.

25They will be given to drink from a pure, sealed wine.

26The seal of it is musk. For this, let the competitors compete.

27Its mixture is from Tasneem.

28A spring from which those brought near drink.

29Those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

30And when they passed by them, they would wink at each other.

31Upon returning to their families, they would return jubilantly.

32Upon seeing them, they would say, “These have really gone astray.”

33But they were not sent as keepers over them.

34Today, those who believed are laughing at the unbelievers.

35On thrones, observing.

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