83:1
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Destruction be to the cheaters...
83:2
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
...who, when they take measure from mankind (when they are buying from others), demand (that their purchase be given to them) in full. (They ensure that the seller does not weigh or measure less than they are paying for.)
83:3
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
(However,) If they measure or weigh for people (when they are the sellers), they reduce (the weight or measurement of the commodity so that the buyer gets less than he pays for).
83:4
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
Do such people not consider that (after death) they will be raised...
83:5
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
...unto an awful (mighty) day (Qiyaamah)...
83:6
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
...the day when all of mankind will stand before the Rabb of the universe (to account for their actions and words)?
83:7
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
Never! (It shall never be as they think that Qiyaamah will not come!) Verily the records of the (actions of) sinners shall be in “Sijjeen" (a place of punishment beneath the seven earths, where the records of Kuffaar are placed).
