بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ ١
وَيۡلٌ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِيۡنَۙ ١
83:1 Woe to the curtailers
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ ٢
الَّذِيۡنَ اِذَا اكۡتَالُوۡا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُوۡنَۖ ٢
83:2 who, when they measure something to receive from people, take it in full,
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ ٣
وَاِذَا كَالُوۡهُمۡ اَوْ وَّزَنُوۡهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُوۡنَؕ ٣
83:3 and when they measure or weigh something to give it to them, give less than due.
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ ٤
اَلَا يَظُنُّ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَنَّهُمۡ مَّبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَۙ ٤
83:4 Do they not think that they have to be raised up
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ٥
لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيۡمٍۙ ٥
83:5 on a Great Day,
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٦
يَّوۡمَ يَقُوۡمُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَؕ ٦
83:6 the Day when all the people will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ ٧
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الۡفُجَّارِ لَفِىۡ سِجِّيۡنٍؕ ٧
83:7 Never! (i.e. they should never act in such a way.) Indeed the record of deeds of the sinners is in Sijjīn .
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ ٨
وَمَاۤ اَدۡرٰٮكَ مَا سِجِّيۡنٌؕ ٨
83:8 And what may let you know what Sijjīn is?
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ ٩
كِتٰبٌ مَّرۡقُوۡمٌؕ ٩
83:9 A register, inscribed!
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٠
وَيۡلٌ يَّوۡمَٮِٕذٍ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِيۡنَۙ ١٠
83:10 Woe that day to the deniers,
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ١١
الَّذِيۡنَ يُكَذِّبُوۡنَ بِيَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِؕ ١١
83:11 who deny the Day of Requital!
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ١٢
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهٖۤ اِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ اَثِيۡمٍۙ ١٢
83:12 And none denies it but every sinful transgressor.
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٣
اِذَا تُتۡلٰى عَلَيۡهِ اٰيٰتُنَا قَالَ اَسَاطِيۡرُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَؕ ١٣
83:13 When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “(These are) tales of the ancients.”
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ١٤
كَلَّا بَلۡ رَانَ عَلٰى قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَكۡسِبُوۡنَ ١٤
83:14 No! But that which they used to commit has covered their hearts with rust.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ ١٥
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهُمۡ عَنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ لَّمَحۡجُوۡبُوۡنَؕ ١٥
83:15 No! Indeed they will be screened off from their Lord on that Day.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ١٦
ثُمَّ اِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُوا الۡجَحِيۡمِؕ ١٦
83:16 Then they will have to enter the Hell.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ١٧
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هٰذَا الَّذِىۡ كُنۡتُمۡ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوۡنَؕ ١٧
83:17 Then it will be said, “This is what you used to deny.”
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ ١٨
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الۡاَبۡرَارِ لَفِىۡ عِلِّيِّيۡنَؕ ١٨

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ١٩
وَمَاۤ اَدۡرٰٮكَ مَا عِلِّيُّوۡنَؕ ١٩
83:19 And what may let you know what ‘Illiyyūn is ?
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ ٢٠
كِتٰبٌ مَّرۡقُوۡمٌۙ ٢٠
83:20 A register inscribed,
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ٢١
يَّشۡهَدُهُ الۡمُقَرَّبُوۡنَؕ ٢١
83:21 attended by those (angels) who are blessed with nearness to Allah!
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ ٢٢
اِنَّ الۡاَبۡرَارَ لَفِىۡ نَعِيۡمٍۙ ٢٢
83:22 Indeed the righteous will be in absolute bliss.
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ٢٣
عَلَى الۡاَرَآٮِٕكِ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَۙ ٢٣
83:23 While (sitting) on thrones they will be watching (the scenes of Paradise).
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٢٤
تَعۡرِفُ فِىۡ وُجُوۡهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ النَّعِيۡمِۚ ٢٤
83:24 You will recognize the glamour of bliss on their faces.
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ ٢٥
يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِنۡ رَّحِيۡقٍ مَّخۡتُوۡمٍۙ ٢٥
83:25 They will be served with a pure sealed wine to drink,
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ ٢٦
خِتٰمُهٗ مِسۡكٌ ؕ وَفِىۡ ذٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ الۡمُتَنــَافِسُوۡنَؕ ٢٦
83:26 the seal of which will be of musk.-It is this (bliss) in aspiring for which the competitors should race each other.
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ ٢٧
وَ مِزَاجُهٗ مِنۡ تَسۡنِيۡمٍۙ ٢٧
83:27 -and it will be blended with (a drink from) Tasnīm ,
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ٢٨
عَيۡنًا يَّشۡرَبُ بِهَا الۡمُقَرَّبُوۡنَؕ ٢٨
83:28 a spring from which will drink those who are blessed with nearness.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ ٢٩
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اَجۡرَمُوۡا كَانُوۡا مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا يَضۡحَكُوۡنَ ۖ ٢٩
83:29 Indeed those who were guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ٣٠
وَاِذَا مَرُّوۡا بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُوۡنَ ۖ ٣٠
83:30 and when they passed by them, they used to wink at one another,
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ ٣١
وَاِذَا انۡقَلَبُوۡۤا اِلٰٓى اَهۡلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوۡا فَكِهِيۡنَ ۖ ٣١
83:31 and when they went back to their family, they went enjoying their mockery,
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ ٣٢
وَاِذَا رَاَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَـضَآلُّوۡنَۙ ٣٢
83:32 and when they saw them, they said, “Surely these are the ones who have gone astray”
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ ٣٣
وَمَاۤ اُرۡسِلُوۡا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حٰفِظِيۡنَۙ ٣٣
83:33 while they were not sent as watchmen over them.
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ ٣٤
فَالۡيَوۡمَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مِنَ الۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُوۡنَۙ ٣٤
83:34 So, today those who believed will laugh at the disbelievers.
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ٣٥
عَلَى الۡاَرَآٮِٕكِۙ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَؕ ٣٥
83:35 While (sitting) on thrones, they will be seeing
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ ٣٦
هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ الۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوۡا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَ ٣٦
83:36 whether the disbelievers have been paid back for what they used to do.
