Surah 83 of 114
سُوْرَةُ المُطَفِّفِيْنَ
Al-Mutaffifin
Defrauding
Woe to the defrauders
Those who take full measure ˹when they buy˺ from people
but give less when they measure or weigh for buyers
Do such people not think that they will be resurrected
for a tremendous Day—
the Day ˹all˺ people will stand before the Lord of all worlds
But no! The wicked are certainly bound for Sijjîn ˹in the depths of Hell˺—
and what will make you realize what Sijjîn is?—
a fate ˹already˺ sealed
Woe on that Day to the deniers—
those who deny Judgment Day
None would deny it except every evildoing transgressor
Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “Ancient fables!”
But no! In fact, their hearts have been stained by all ˹the evil˺ they used to commit
Undoubtedly, they will be sealed off from their Lord on that Day
Moreover, they will surely burn in Hell
and then be told, “This is what you used to deny.”
But no! The virtuous are certainly bound for ’Illiyûn ˹in elevated Gardens˺—
and what will make you realize what ’Illiyûn is?—
a fate ˹already˺ sealed
witnessed by those nearest ˹to Allah˺
Surely the virtuous will be in bliss
˹seated˺ on ˹canopied˺ couches, gazing around
You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight
They will be given a drink of sealed, pure wine
whose last sip will smell like musk. So let whoever aspires to this strive ˹diligently˺
And this drink’s flavour will come from Tasnîm—
a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink
Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers
wink to one another whenever they passed by
and muse ˹over these exploits˺ upon returning to their own people
And when they saw the faithful, they would say, “These ˹people˺ are truly astray,”
even though they were not sent as keepers over the believers
But on that Day the believers will be laughing at the disbelievers
as they sit on ˹canopied˺ couches, looking on
˹The believers will be asked,˺ “Have the disbelievers ˹not˺ been paid back for what they used to do?”
