{بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِلْمُطَفِّفِينَ}

(1) Woe to those who give less [than due],[1878]

{الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ}

(2) Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.

{وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَوْ وَزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ}

(3) But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.

{أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُمْ مَبْعُوثُونَ}

(4) Do they not think that they will be resurrected

{لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ}

(5) For a tremendous Day -

{يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ}

(6) The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?

{كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ}

(7) No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.

{وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ}

(8) And what can make you know what is sijjeen?

{كِتَابٌ مَرْقُومٌ}

(9) It is [their destination[1879] recorded in] a register inscribed.

{وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ}

(10) Woe, that Day, to the deniers,

{الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ}

(11) Who deny the Day of Recompense.

{وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ}

(12) And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.

{إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ}

(13) When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

{كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ}

(14) No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.[1880]

{كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَمَحْجُوبُونَ}

(15) No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.[1881]

{ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ}

(16) Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.

{ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ}

(17) Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."

{كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ}

(18) No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in ʿilliyyūn.

{وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ}

(19) And what can make you know what is ʿilliyyūn?

{كِتَابٌ مَرْقُومٌ}

(20) It is [their destination[1882] recorded in] a register inscribed

{يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ}

(21) Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allāh].

{إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ}

(22) Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

{عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ}

(23) On adorned couches, observing.

{تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ}

(24) You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.

{يُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ رَحِيقٍ مَخْتُومٍ}

(25) They will be given to drink [pure] wine[1883] [which was] sealed.

{خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ}

(26) The last of it[1884] is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.

{وَمِزَاجُهُ مِنْ تَسْنِيمٍ}

(27) And its mixture is of Tasneem,[1885]

{عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ}

(28) A spring from which those near [to Allāh] drink.

{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ}

(29) Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

{وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ}

(30) And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.

{وَإِذَا انْقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ}

(31) And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.

{وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ}

(32) And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

{وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ}

(33) But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

{فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ}

(34) So Today[1886] those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,

{عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ}

(35) On adorned couches, observing.

{هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ}

(36) Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
