83. Al-Mutaffifin سُورَةُ المُطَفِّفِينَ
Yusuf AliWoe to those that deal in fraud
Yusuf AliThose who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure
Yusuf AliBut when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due
Yusuf AliDo they not think that they will be called to account
Yusuf AliOn a Mighty Day
Yusuf AliA Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds
Yusuf AliDay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin
Yusuf AliAnd what will explain to thee what Sijjin is
Yusuf Ali(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed
Yusuf AliWoe, that Day, to those that deny
Yusuf AliThose that deny the Day of Judgment
Yusuf AliAnd none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner
Yusuf AliWhen Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients
Yusuf AliBy no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do
Yusuf AliVerily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled
Yusuf AliFurther, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false
Yusuf AliDay, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin
Yusuf AliAnd what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is
Yusuf Ali(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed
Yusuf AliTo which bear witness those Nearest (to God)
Yusuf AliOn Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things)
Yusuf AliThou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss
Yusuf AliTheir thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed
Yusuf AliThe seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations
Yusuf AliA spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to God
Yusuf AliThose in sin used to laugh at those who believed
Yusuf AliAnd whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery)
Yusuf AliAnd when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting
Yusuf AliAnd whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray
Yusuf AliBut they had not been sent as keepers over them
Yusuf AliBut on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers
Yusuf AliOn Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things)
Yusuf AliWill not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did
