The Cheaters (Al-Mutaffifeen)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Woe to the diminishers, 1 Who insist on being given full when they take from others, 2 Whilst when they measure or weigh for them, give less. 3 Do not these think that they shall be raised again 4 On a grievous day, 5 The day all mankind will stand before the Lord of all the worlds? 6 Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin. 7 And what will make you know what the Sijjin is? 8 A written record. 9 Woe, that Day, to the deniers, 10 those who give the lie to the [coming of] Judgment Day: 11 and none cries lies to it but every guilty aggressor. 12 And when Our revelations are rehearsed unto him, he saith: fables of the ancients! 13 No indeed! Their own deeds have cast a veil over their hearts. 14 No indeed! On that Day they will be screened off from seeing their Lord, 15 then they shall enter the Fire of Hell, 16 and who will be told, "This is what you had called a lie". 17 No indeed; the book of the pious is in Illiyun; 18 But how will you comprehend what 'Illiyun is? 19 A record of good deeds written. 20 Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it. 21 Verily the pious will be in heaven, 22 upon couches gazing; 23 thou knowest in their faces the radiancy of bliss 24 They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed, 25 whose seal is musk -- so after that let the strivers strive -- 26 a wine whose mixture is Tasnim, 27 The spring from which drink the ones close to Allah. 28 The sinners laughed at the believers 29 and whenever they pass by them, they wink at one another [derisively]; 30 and when they returned to their own people, they would speak of them jestingly; 31 On seeing the believers, they would say, "These people have gone astray". 32 though they were not sent to be their keepers -- 33 So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers; 34 On thrones, they will look. 35 Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do? 36
