Al-Mutaffifin 83:4
The Defrauding · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 587
Do They Not Think?
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ ٤
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Do they not think they will be resurrected?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this means: “Even if they do not believe, have they not even a doubt?” Even a small doubt should be enough to stop a person from cheating.
Reflect
Think about how even the possibility of account changes you.
