Surah Al-Mutaffifin
83We never cheat on the scales, and we race to do good
One branch per meaning, one node per verse. Reveal the branches one at a time; listen to each branch and repeat it before the next.

وَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
- ٢
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
- ٣
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Woe to those who give short measure: when they buy from people they take full measure, but when they sell to them they give less.- ٤
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
- ٥
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ
- ٦
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Do they not think they will be raised for a tremendous Day, the Day all people will stand before the Lord of the worlds, who will account for every small and big thing?- ٧
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍۢ
- ٨
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌۭ
- ٩
كِتَٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ
Truly, the record of the wicked is in Sijjin, a narrow prison and a painful punishment. And what will make you know what Sijjin is? A register already written, nothing added and nothing taken away.- ١٠
وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
- ١١
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
- ١٢
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
- ١٣
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Woe that Day to the deniers who deny the Day of Recompense. None denies it except every sinful transgressor; when Our verses are recited to him, he says: 'Tales of the ancients.'- ١٤
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
- ١٥
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
- ١٦
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
- ١٧
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
No! Rather, the sins they used to commit have covered their hearts. No! That Day they will be screened off from seeing their Lord, then they will burn in Hellfire, and it will be said: 'This is what you used to deny.'- ١٨
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
- ١٩
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
- ٢٠
كِتَٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ
- ٢١
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Truly, the record of the righteous is in the high places of Paradise. And what will make you know what Illiyyun is? A register already written, witnessed by those brought near among the angels.- ٢٢
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
- ٢٣
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
- ٢٤
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
The righteous will be in bliss, on raised couches, looking at their Lord and at the good He prepared for them. You will recognise in their faces the radiance of bliss.- ٢٥
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍۢ مَّخْتُومٍ
- ٢٦
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌۭ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
- ٢٧
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
- ٢٨
عَيْنًۭا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
They will be given a pure sealed drink whose last trace is the scent of musk, so for this let the competitors compete. It is mixed from a spring in Paradise called Tasnim, from which those brought near drink.- ٢٩
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
- ٣٠
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
- ٣١
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
- ٣٢
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
- ٣٣
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
The criminals used to laugh at the believers, wink at each other when they passed them, go home to their families joking about them, and when they saw the companions of Muhammad, peace be upon him, they said, 'These people are lost,' though they were not sent as guardians over them.- ٣٤
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
- ٣٥
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
- ٣٦
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
So on that Day the believers will laugh at the disbelievers, as they were mocked in this world, on raised couches looking at the honour Allah gave them. Have the disbelievers been repaid for what they used to do?
