Surat Al-Muţaffifīn (The Defrauding) <br /> <br /> <br />Woe to those that deal in fraud, <br />Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, <br />But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due. <br />Do they not think that they will be called to account? <br />On a Mighty Day, <br />A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds? <br />Day! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin. <br />And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is? <br />(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed. <br />Woe, that Day, to those that deny <br />Those that deny the Day of Judgment. <br />And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner! <br />When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!" <br />By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do! <br />Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled. <br />Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell. <br />Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false! <br />Day, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin. <br />And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is? <br />(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed, <br />To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah) <br />Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss: <br />On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things): <br />Thou wilt recognize in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss. <br />Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed: <br />The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations: <br />With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim: <br />A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah. <br />Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed, <br />And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery); <br />And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting; <br />And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!" <br />But they had not been sent as keepers over them! <br />But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers: <br />On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things). <br />Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?
