Mutaffifîn Sûresi Abul Ala Maududi Meâli

Woe to the stinters; ﴾ 1 ﴿
those who, when they take from others by measure, take their full share; ﴾ 2 ﴿
but who, when they measure or weigh for others, give less than their due. ﴾ 3 ﴿
Do they not realise that they will be raised to life ﴾ 4 ﴿
on a Great Day, ﴾ 5 ﴿
a Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the Universe? ﴾ 6 ﴿
No indeed! Verily the deeds of the wicked are in the Record locked up in the prison-house! ﴾ 7 ﴿
And how would you know what the Record of the prison-house is? ﴾ 8 ﴿
It is a Book inscribed. ﴾ 9 ﴿
Woe, then, to those that give the lie, ﴾ 10 ﴿
those that give the lie to the Day of Recompense. ﴾ 11 ﴿
Yet none gives the lie to it except the transgressor immersed in sin; ﴾ 12 ﴿
who, when Our verses are recited to him, says: “Mere tales of olden times!” ﴾ 13 ﴿
No indeed! The truth is that their hearts have become rusted on account of their evil deeds. ﴾ 14 ﴿
No indeed! On that Day they will be screened off from seeing their Lord, ﴾ 15 ﴿
and then they shall enter Hell, ﴾ 16 ﴿
whereafter they will be told: “This is what you used to give the lie to.” ﴾ 17 ﴿
No indeed! Verily, the deeds of the virtuous shall be in the record of the exalted ones. ﴾ 18 ﴿
And what do you know what the Record of the exalted ones is? ﴾ 19 ﴿
It is a Book inscribed, ﴾ 20 ﴿
which the angels placed near Allah to safeguard. ﴾ 21 ﴿
Verily the virtuous shall be in Bliss; ﴾ 22 ﴿
resting on couches, looking around. ﴾ 23 ﴿
You shall see upon their faces the glow of bliss. ﴾ 24 ﴿
They will be served a drink of the finest sealed wine, ﴾ 25 ﴿
whose seal is musk – so let all aspirants aspire after that – ﴾ 26 ﴿
a wine whose mixture is Tasnim, ﴾ 27 ﴿
a fountain at which the chosen ones shall drink. ﴾ 28 ﴿
Behold, the wicked were wont to laugh at the believers: ﴾ 29 ﴿
when they passed by them they winked, ﴾ 30 ﴿
and when they went back to their families, they went back jesting, ﴾ 31 ﴿
and when they saw the believers, they said: “Lo! These are the erring ones”; ﴾ 32 ﴿
(they said so although) they had not been appointed watchers over them. ﴾ 33 ﴿
But today the believers are laughing at the unbelievers; ﴾ 34 ﴿
seated upon their couches, they are looking around. ﴾ 35 ﴿
Have the unbelievers been duly rewarded for their deeds? ﴾ 36 ﴿
