83. Al-Mutaffifin (Cheating)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

83:1	Woe to the defrauders,
83:2	Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
83:3	But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
83:4	Do not these think that they shall be raised again
83:5	For a mighty day,
83:6	The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
83:7	Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
83:8	And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
83:9	It is a written book.
83:10	Woe on that day to the rejecters,
83:11	Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
83:12	And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
83:13	When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
83:14	Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
83:15	Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
83:16	Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
83:17	Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
83:18	Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.
83:19	And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
83:20	It is a written book,
83:21	Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
83:22	Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
83:23	On thrones, they shall gaze;
83:24	You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
83:25	They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
83:26	The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
83:27	And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
83:28	A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
83:29	Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
83:30	And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
83:31	And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
83:32	And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
83:33	And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
83:34	So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
83:35	On thrones, they will look.
83:36	Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did. < Back       Chapters       Forward >
