Chapter 83: The Defrauders al-Mutaffifin

Table of Contents

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful

Woe to the defrauders

Those who, when they take a measure from people, they take in full

But when they measure or weigh to others, they cheat

Do these not know that they will be resurrected

For a Great Day

The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds

Not at all

The record of the wicked is in Sijjeen

But how can you know what Sijjeen is

A numerical book

Woe on that Day to the deniers

Those who deny the Day of Reckoning

But none denies it except the sinful aggressor

When Our revelations are recited to him, he says, “Legends of the ancients”

Not at all

Their hearts have become corroded by what they used to earn

Not at all

On that Day, they will be screened from their Lord

Then they will roast in Hell

Then it will be said, “This is what you used to deny”

No indeed; the record of the righteous is in Elliyyeen

But how can you know what Elliyyoon is

A numerical book

Witnessed by those brought near

Indeed, the righteous will be amid bliss

On thrones, looking on

You will recognize on their faces the radiance of bliss

They will be given to drink a sealed wine

Whose seal is musk-this is what competitors should compete for

Its mixture is of Tasneem

A spring from which those brought near drink

Those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed

And when they passed by them, they would wink at one another

And when they went back to their families, they would go back exulting

And if they saw them, they would say, “These people are lost”

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them

But on that Day, those who believed will laugh at the unbelievers

On luxurious furnishings, looking on

Have the unbelievers been repaid for what they used to do
