IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Mutaffifin - Defrauding, The Defrauders, The Cheats, Cheating as rendered by
Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar
83:1
Woe be to the ones who give short measure,
83:2
those who when they measure against humanity obtained full measure.
83:3
Yet when they wanted to measure for them, or weigh for them, they skimp.
83:4
Think those not that they
will be
ones who are raised up
83:5
on the sublime Day,
83:6
a Day
when
humanity will stand up for the Lord of the worlds?
83:7
No indeed! Truly, the Book of the ones who act immorally is in Sijjin.
83:8
And what will cause thee to recognize what Sijjin is?
83:9
It is a written book.
83:10
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny—
83:11
those who deny the Day of Judgment!
83:12
And none denies it but every sinful, exceeder of limits,
83:13
who, when Our signs are recounted to him, he said: Fables of the ancient ones!
83:14
No indeed! Nay! Their hearts
will be
overcome with rust from what they had been earning.
83:15
No indeed! They will be from their Lord on that Day ones who are alienated.
83:16
Truly, again, they will be ones who roast in hellfire.
83:17
Again, it will be said
to them
after that: This
is
what you had been denying.
83:18
No indeed! Truly, the book of the pious
is
in Illiyyun.
83:19
And what will cause thee to recognize what Illiyyun
is
?
83:20
It is
a written book.
83:21
Bearing witness to it are the ones who are brought near to God.
83:22
Truly, the pious
will be
in bliss,
83:23
on raised benches, looking on.
83:24
Thou wilt recognize on their faces
the
radiancy of bliss.
83:25
They will be given to drink sealed over exquisite wine.
83:26
Its seal
will have
the lingering smell of musk. So for that, then, the ones who strive, strive.
83:27
And the mixture will be of Tasnim,
83:28
a spring from which will drink the ones who are brought near to it.
83:29
Truly, those who sinned—at those who believed—had been laughing.
83:30
And when they passed by them, they would wink at one another,
83:31
and when they would turn about to their people, they would turn about acting as ones who are unconcerned.
83:32
And when they saw them, they would say: Truly, these
are
ones who go astray.
83:33
They were sent as ones who guard
over them
.
83:34
Then, on this Day, those who believed laugh at the ones who are ungrateful,
83:35
seated on raised benches, they look on.
83:36
Were the ones who are ungrateful not rewarded for what they had been accomplishing?
