The Defrauding — 36 Ayahs
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَيۡلٞ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِينَ
Woe to those who give less [than due]
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُونَ
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ
For a tremendous Day
يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٖ
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٞ
And what can make you know what is sijjeen
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ
Woe, that Day, to the deniers
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Who deny the Day of Recompense
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor
إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples
كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ
No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun
يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah]
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
On adorned couches, observing
تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure
يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ
They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ
And its mixture is of Tasneem
عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed
وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost
وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ
But they had not been sent as guardians over them
فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ
So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers
هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ
Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do
