بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Woe to those who are fraudulent in (weighing and measuring),
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
those who demand a full measure from others
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَوْ وَزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
but when they measure or weigh, give less.
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُمْ مَبْعُوثُونَ
Do they not realize that they will be resurrected
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
on a great day
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
when mankind will stand before the Lord of the Universe?
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ
Woe to them! Let them know that the records of the sinner's deeds are in Sijin.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
Would that you knew what Sijin is!?
كِتَابٌ مَرْقُومٌ
It is a comprehensively written Book (of records).
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Woe, on that day, to those who have rejected God's revelations
الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
and those who have rejected the Day of Judgment.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
No one rejects it except the sinful transgressors
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
who, when listening to Our revelations, say, "These are only ancient legends".
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
They will never have faith. In fact, their hearts are stained from their deeds.
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَمَحْجُوبُونَ
On the Day of Judgment, they will certainly be barred from the mercy of their Lord.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ
They will suffer the heat of fire
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ
and who will be told, "This is what you had called a lie".
كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ
However, the records of the deeds of the virtuous ones will certainly be in Illiyin.
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
Would that you knew what Illiyin is!
يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
The ones nearest to God will bring it to public.
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
The virtuous will live in bliss,
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ
reclining on couches, reviewing (the bounties given to them).
تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ
You can trace on their faces the joy of their bliss.
يُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ رَحِيقٍ مَخْتُومٍ
They will be given pure wine out of sealed containers
خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ
which have the fragrance of musk. This is the kind of place for which one should really aspire.
وَمِزَاجُهُ مِنْ تَسْنِيمٍ
With the wine is a drink from Tasnim,
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
a spring, the nearest ones to God will drink from it.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ
The sinners had been laughing at the believers.
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
When passing by them, they would wink at one another
وَإِذَا انْقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ
and, on returning to their people, boast about what they had done.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ
On seeing the believers, they would say, "These people have gone astray".
وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ
No one has appointed them to watch over the believers.
فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
On the Day of Judgment, the believers will laugh at the disbelievers
while reclining on couches and reviewing (the bounties given to them).
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ
Will not the disbelievers then be duly recompensed for their laughing at the believers?
