Al-Mutaffifin 83:1
The Defrauding · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 587
Those Who Give Short Measure
وَيۡلࣱ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِينَ ١
Woe unto the defrauders.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Woe to those who give short measure!
Insight
Elmalılı recalls his earlier explanation of “wayl”, rendered as “woe”. The verse condemns those who cheat in measure and weight.
Reflect
Give full measure in your work and dealings today.
