In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |
|
1. |
Woe to Al-Mutaffifin [those who give less in measure and weight (decrease the rights of others)], |
2. |
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure, |
3. |
And when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due. |
4. |
Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning), |
5. |
On a Great Day, |
6. |
The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists)? |
7. |
Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjâr (disbelievers, sinners, evil-doers and wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjîn. |
8. |
And what will make you know what Sijjîn is? |
9. |
A Register inscribed. |
10. |
Woe, that Day, to those who deny [(Allâh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection, and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)]. |
11. |
Those who deny the Day of Recompense. |
12. |
And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience of Allâh, the sinner!) |
13. |
When Our Verses (of the Qur'ân) are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!" |
14. |
Nay! But on their hearts is the Rân (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn. |
15. |
Nay! Surely, they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day. |
16. |
Then, verily they will indeed enter and taste the burning flame of Hell. |
17. |
Then, it will be said to them: "This is what you used to deny!" |
18. |
Nay! Verily, the Record (writing of the deeds) of Al-Abrâr (the pious who fear Allâh and avoid evil), is (preserved) in 'Illiyyûn. |
19. |
And what will make you know what 'Illiyyûn is? |
20. |
A Register inscribed. |
21. |
To which bear witness those nearest (to Allâh, i.e. the angels). |
22. |
Verily, Al-Abrâr (the pious who fear Allâh and avoid evil) will be in delight (Paradise). |
23. |
On thrones, looking (at all things). |
24. |
You will recognise in their faces the brightness of delight. |
25. |
They will be given to drink pure sealed wine. |
26. |
The last thereof (that wine) will be the smell of musk,
and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e. hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allâh). |
27. |
It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnîm. |
28. |
A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allâh. |
29. |
Verily! (During the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed. |
30. |
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery); |
31. |
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting; |
32. |
And when they saw them, they said: "Verily! These have indeed gone astray!" |
33. |
But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers). |
34. |
But this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers |
35. |
On (high) thrones, looking (at all things). |
36. |
Are not the disbelievers paid (fully) for what they used to do? ********* |
