Surah Al-Tatfif
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِيْنَۙ١
Wailul lil-muṭaffifīn(a).
[1]
Woe to those who give less [than due],
الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا اكْتَالُوْا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُوْنَۖ٢
Allażīna iżaktālū ‘alan-nāsi yastaufūn(a).
[2]
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
وَاِذَا كَالُوْهُمْ اَوْ وَّزَنُوْهُمْ يُخْسِرُوْنَۗ٣
Wa iżā kālūhum au wazanūhum yukhsirūn(a).
[3]
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
اَلَا يَظُنُّ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَنَّهُمْ مَّبْعُوْثُوْنَۙ٤
Alā yaẓunnu ulā'ika annahum mab‘ūṡūn(a).
[4]
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيْمٍۙ٥
Liyaumin ‘aẓīm(in).
[5]
For a tremendous Day -
يَّوْمَ يَقُوْمُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۗ٦
Yauma yaqūmun-nāsu lirabbil-‘ālamīn(a).
[6]
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
كَلَّآ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِيْ سِجِّيْنٍۗ٧
Kallā inna kitābal-fujjāri lafī sijjīn(in).
[7]
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.
وَمَآ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا سِجِّيْنٌۗ٨
Wa mā adrāka mā sijjīn(un).
[8]
And what can make you know what is sijjeen?
كِتٰبٌ مَّرْقُوْمٌۗ٩
Kitābum marqūm(un).
[9]
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَۙ١٠
Wailuy yauma'iżil lil-mukażżibīn(a).
[10]
Woe, that Day, to the deniers,
الَّذِيْنَ يُكَذِّبُوْنَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّيْنِۗ١١
Allażīna yukażżibūna biyaumid-dīn(i).
[11]
Who deny the Day of Recompense.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهٖٓ اِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ اَثِيْمٍۙ١٢
Wa mā yukażżibu bihī illā kullu mu‘tadin aṡīm(in).
[12]
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.
اِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِ اٰيٰتُنَا قَالَ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَۗ١٣
Iżā tutlā ‘alaihi āyātunā qāla asāṭīrul-awwalīn(a).
[13]
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
كَلَّا بَلْ ۜرَانَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ١٤
Kallā bal…rāna ‘alā qulūbihim mā kānū yaksibūn(a).
[14]
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.
كَلَّآ اِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّمَحْجُوْبُوْنَۗ١٥
Kallā innahum ‘ar rabbihim yauma'iżil lamaḥjūbūn(a).
[15]
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
ثُمَّ اِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا الْجَحِيْمِۗ١٦
Ṡumma innahum laṣālul-jaḥīm(i).
[16]
Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَۗ١٧
Ṡumma yuqālu hāżal-lażī kuntum bihī tukażżibūn(a).
[17]
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."
كَلَّآ اِنَّ كِتٰبَ الْاَبْرَارِ لَفِيْ عِلِّيِّيْنَۗ١٨
Kallā inna kitābal-abrāri lafī ‘illiyyīn(a).
[18]
No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun.
وَمَآ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا عِلِّيُّوْنَۗ١٩
Wa mā adrāka mā ‘illiyyūn(a).
[19]
And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun?
كِتٰبٌ مَّرْقُوْمٌۙ٢٠
Kitābum marqūm(un).
[20]
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed
يَّشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَۗ٢١
Yasyhaduhul-muqarrabūn(a).
[21]
Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].
اِنَّ الْاَبْرَارَ لَفِيْ نَعِيْمٍۙ٢٢
Innal-abrāra lafī na‘īm(in).
[22]
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure
عَلَى الْاَرَاۤىِٕكِ يَنْظُرُوْنَۙ٢٣
‘Alal-arā'iki yanẓurūn(a).
[23]
On adorned couches, observing.
تَعْرِفُ فِيْ وُجُوْهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيْمِۚ٢٤
Ta‘rifu fī wujūhihim naḍratan na‘īm(i).
[24]
You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.
يُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ رَّحِيْقٍ مَّخْتُوْمٍۙ٢٥
Yusqauna mir raḥīqim makhtūm(in).
[25]
They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed.
خِتٰمُهٗ مِسْكٌ ۗوَفِيْ ذٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنٰفِسُوْنَۗ٢٦
Khitāmuhū misk(un), wa fī żālika falyatanāfasil-mutanāfisūn(a).
[26]
The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.
وَمِزَاجُهٗ مِنْ تَسْنِيْمٍۙ٢٧
Wa mizājuhū min tasnīm(in).
[27]
And its mixture is of Tasneem,
عَيْنًا يَّشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَۗ٢٨
‘Ainay yasyrabu bihal-muqarrabūn(a).
[28]
A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اَجْرَمُوْا كَانُوْا مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يَضْحَكُوْنَۖ٢٩
Innal-lażīna ajramū kānū minal-lażīna āmanū yaḍḥakūn(a).
[29]
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
وَاِذَا مَرُّوْا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُوْنَۖ٣٠
Wa iżā marrū bihim yatagāmazūn(a).
[30]
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
وَاِذَا انْقَلَبُوْٓا اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوْا فَكِهِيْنَۖ٣١
Wa iżanqalabū ilā ahlihimunqalabū fakihīn(a).
[31]
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
وَاِذَا رَاَوْهُمْ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَضَاۤلُّوْنَۙ٣٢
Wa iżā ra'auhum qālū inna hā'ulā'i laḍāllūn(a).
[32]
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."
وَمَآ اُرْسِلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ حٰفِظِيْنَۗ٣٣
Wa mā ursilū ‘alaihim ḥāfiẓīn(a).
[33]
But they had not been sent as guardians over them.
فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُوْنَۙ٣٤
Fal-yaumal-lażīna āmanū minal kuffāri yaḍḥakūn(a).
[34]
So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,
عَلَى الْاَرَاۤىِٕكِ يَنْظُرُوْنَۗ٣٥
‘Alal-arā'iki yanẓurūn(a).
[35]
On adorned couches, observing.
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوْا يَفْعَلُوْنَ ࣖ٣٦
Hal ṡuwwibal-kuffāru mā kānū yaf‘alūn(a).
[36]
Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
