Surah Defrauding [Al-Mutaffifin] in English

Woe to Al-Mutaffifin.

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

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

Do they not think that they will be resurrected,

On a Great Day

The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of all that exists

Nay! Truly, the Record of the wicked is in Sijjin.

And what will make you know what Sijjin is

A Register inscribed.

Woe, that Day, to those who deny.

Those who deny the Day of Recompense.

And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, the sinner!

When Our Ayat are recited to him, he says: \"Tales of the ancients!\"

Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering) which they used to earn.

Nay! Surely, they will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.

Then verily, they will indeed enter the burning flame of Hell.

Then, it will be said to them: \"This is what you used to deny!\"

Nay! Verily, the Record of Al-Abrar (the righteous believers) is (preserved) in `Illiyyin.

And what will make you know what `Illiyyin is

A Register inscribed,

To which bear witness those nearest.

Verily, Al-Abrar (the righteous believers) will be in Delight.

On thrones, looking.

You will recognize in their faces the brightness of delight.

They will be given to drink of pure sealed Rahiq.

Sealed with musk, and for this let those strive who want to strive.

It will be mixed with Tasnim:

A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah.

Verily, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

And, whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another.

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

And when they saw them, they said: \"Verily, these have indeed gone astray!\"

But they were not sent as watchers over them.

But this Day those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers

On thrones, looking.
