1 Default in Duty

وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ

Woe to the defrauders:

Waylun lilmutaffifeena

الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ

those who, when they take a measure from people, take in full;

Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ

but when they measure or weigh to others, they give less than they should.

Wa-itha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ

Do those not think that they will be resurrected

Ala yathunnu ola-ika annahum mabAAoothoona

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

on a great day,

Liyawmin AAatheemin

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

a day when mankind stands before the Lord of all realms?

Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena

كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ

But no, indeed the record of the wicked is in Sijjeen.

Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ

And what can make yousg realize what Sijjeen is?

Wama adraka ma sijjeenun

كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ

A written record.

Kitabun marqoomun

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the disbelievers

Waylun yawma-ithin lilmukaththibeena

الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ

who disbelieve in the Day of Recompense,

Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

for none disbelieves in it except every sinful transgressor

Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

who, when Our signs are recited to him, says, “Legends of the ancients.”

Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru al-awwaleena

كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

But no, rather, encrusted over their hearts is what they used to earn.

Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona

كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ

But no, indeed on that day they are sure to be screened off from their Lord.

Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawma-ithin lamahjooboona

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ

Then indeed, they are sure to roast in purgatory.

Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Then it will be said, “This is what you used to disbelieve in.”

Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ

But no, indeed the record of the virtuous is in Elliyyeen.

Kalla inna kitaba al-abrari lafee AAilliyyeena

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ

And what can make yousg realize what Elliyyoon is?

Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ

A written record,

Kitabun marqoomun

يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

witnessed by those brought near.

Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona

إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Indeed, the virtuous are amid bliss,

Inna al-abrara lafee naAAeemin

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

on couches, looking on.

AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroona

تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ

Yousg can recognize on their faces the radiance of bliss.

TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ

They are given to drink of a sealed nectar,

Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ

whose end is musk—and this is what competitors should compete for.

Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ

And its mixture is of Tasneem,

Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

a spring from which those brought near drink.

AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ

Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who had attained faith;

Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

and when they passed by them, they would wink at one another;

Wa-itha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ

and when they went back to their families, they would go back jesting;

Wa-itha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ

and when they saw them, they would say, “These people are most surely misguided.”

Wa-itha raawhum qaloo inna haola-i ladalloona

وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ

Yet they were not sent as preservers over them.

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

So today those who have attained faith are laughing at the deniers,

Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

on couches, looking on.

AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroona

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

Have the deniers been recompensed for what they used to do?

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
