83 Surah Mutaffifin – The Defrauders
In the name of Allah, the entirely Merciful, the especially Merciful
- Allah’s anger is on those who who cheat people by giving them less than what they paid for
- Those who take full measure of things ˹when they buy˺ from people,
- But give less than what is right, when they measure things to sell to other people
- Do these people think they will not be raised up after they die and questioned about their actions
- On a great Day?
- the Day when all the people will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
- For sure the record of the actions of these wicked people is stored in the Sijjin
- And what will make you know what Sijjîn is?
- The record of actions is a book written and sealed – nothing can be changed in it.
- Allah’s anger will be on the refusers on that Day
- Those who refused to believe in the Day of Judgement
- And no one refuses it except the most wicked ones who cross all the limits of sins and disbelief.
- When the verses of the Quran are recited to them, they say, ” (These are) ancient tales of the old people”
- No! But the sins they used to commit has covered their hearts with rust.
- Surely, these wicked people will not get to see Allah on the Day of Judgement
- In fact, they will be burned in Hellfire
- Then, it will be said to them: “This is what you used to deny!”
- Surely, the record of deeds of the good believing people is in ` illiyyun.
- And what will make you know what ‘Illiyyûn is?
- The record of deeds is a book written and sealed – nothing can be changed in it.
- It is taken care of by those (angels) who are blessed with nearness to Allah!
- Surely those who believed in Allah and did good actions will be in delight in Paradise
- While (sitting) on thrones, they will be watching (the scenes of Paradise).
- You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight.
- They will be served with a pure sealed wine to drink
- The last sip of this drink will smell like musk, so let those who wish to achieve this compete with each other
- And this drink will be mixed with Tasnim
- Tasnim is a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink.
- Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers,
- and when the believers passed by them, they used to wink at one another to make fun of them
- And they would make fun of the believers amongst their family and friends
- And when these wicked men saw the believers they would say , “Surely, these people are lost in the wrong way”
- even though they were not sent as watchers or guardians over the believers.
- But on the Day of Judgement the believers will be laughing at the disbelievers,
- While (sitting) on thrones, they will be seeing
- And the believers will be asked,˺ “Have the disbelievers ˹not˺ been paid back for what they used to do?”
