والوزن يوميذ الحق فمن ثقلت موازينه فاولايك هم المفلحون ٨
وَٱلْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ٨
وَٱلۡوَزۡنُ
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
ٱلۡحَقُّۚ
فَمَن
ثَقُلَتۡ
مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
هُمُ
ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ

ومن خفت موازينه فاولايك الذين خسروا انفسهم بما كانوا باياتنا يظلمون ٩
وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ ٩
وَمَنۡ
خَفَّتۡ
مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
خَسِرُوٓاْ
أَنفُسَهُم
بِمَا
كَانُواْ
بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا
يَظۡلِمُونَ
