Al-Mutaffifin

Woe to those who give short measure: who take full measure from people for themselves, but give less when they measure or weigh for others. Do they not think they will be raised again for a mighty Day, the Day all people stand before the Lord of the worlds? No! The record of the wicked is in Sijjin, a written record. Woe that Day to the deniers who deny the Day of Judgement; only every sinful transgressor denies it, who says of Allah’s verses, “tales of the ancients.” No! What they earned has stained their hearts with rust. That Day they will be veiled from their Lord, then burn in the Blaze, and be told: this is what you denied. No! The record of the righteous is in ʿIlliyyin, a written record witnessed by those brought near. The righteous will be in bliss on adorned couches, looking on, their faces glowing, given a pure sealed drink whose seal is musk, mixed from Tasnim, a spring the near ones drink from; for this let the strivers strive. The criminals used to laugh at the believers, wink at each other, go home joking and call them astray, though they were not sent as their keepers. Today the believers laugh, on couches, looking on: have the disbelievers been repaid for what they did?
